Books like Psychology's Grand Theorists by Amy P. Demorest


Psychology's Grand Theorists examines how the life experiences of Freud, Skinner, and Rogers influenced the development of the psychodynamic, behavioral, and phenomenological (humanistic) schools that have dominated the discipline. Through analysis of letters, diaries, biographies, autobiographies, and professional writings, the book reveals how each theorist’s belief that he discovered the truth about human nature led to distinct and sometimes conflicting theories. The study offers readers a closer, more intimate understanding of each thinker’s ideas and encourages critical examination of their scientific status. Intended as a supplement to courses on personality, clinical psychology, and the history of psychology, it is also useful for clinicians and counselors who apply these theories in practice.
