3.0 out of 5 stars
Average book with interesting thesis,
By Mark (Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gestalt Psychology and the Cognitive Revolution (Paperback)
I actually took David Murray's course in Fall 1996 (and got a reasonably good grade so this isn't a "revenge review" :) ). Prof. Murray's thesis is that the Gestalt psychologists (primarily Koffka, Kohler and Wertheimer) anticipated the cognitive revolution of the late 1950s. It's an interesting idea and there are definitely too many similarities between their schools of thought. The book itself is pretty much average. I found the writing style a bit awkward. There are a lot of good explanations of various experiments. There is quite a lot of history interspersed with the psychology, so it does make for an interesting read, if you're up on these fields. I wouldn't recommend this for the layman but if you're in cognitive psychology it would be worth the read. |
