A History of Modern Psychology

This book offers a comprehensive view into the world of modern psychology. As you read it, you will discover that learning about psychology's past paves the way for understanding psychology's present contribution to humanity. As you read about some of psychology's past and present contributors, you will come to see that they were and are very much like every one of us. You will read about their trials and tribulations in life - as well as - the many contributions they have made in the study of human and animal behavior.
This book also offers as a compliment to the reading an online Study Guide, which is an excellent source of information that contributes to a better understanding of the material in the text. I highly recommend that this book be used for those who have an interest in the history of modern psychology.

The course "History and Systems of Psychology" seemed less-than-thrilling and I was prepared to be bored out of my mind. For psych majors, however, it is a wonderful class and this book is pleasant reading material. It's easy to understand, full of cool tidbits, and surprisingly fun. It's one of the few textbooks I regret selling back - now I have to purchase it again (because it's worth it).

I purchased this book to accompany an online class. It helped immensely. The book was exactly what I expected from the description and it arrived earlier than I expected. You can not buy a used textbook from any school bookstore for less than $20.00. It was a great buy!

If you're purchasing it more than likely it's for a class. I'm a psychology geek so I found the book fascinating.

The book is good, but still new to my college class associated with this book. Overall, its easy to understand and the dates associated with its history are explained, in laymens terms.

Although I didn't choose this title on my own (it's a required textbook for class), I actually learned a lot. The writer's sometimes humorous style helps make a yawn-inducing topic much more readable.

Needing a book for a class I looked online and contacted the seller explaining what I needed (how soon). The seller got back to me almost right away about what they could do and was right on with getting the shipment to me like I needed. I would recommend this seller anytime.

Book was new and less than half the price of the bookstore. Seller responded to post-sale questions quickly and book was delivered in expected timetable.

Professor of Stats used Goodwin. I thouroughly enjoyed his writing style. Those who study psychology will hear of the notable psychologist, Boring,well Goodwin makes reading and studing psychology anything but boring. His writing style is refreshing, uncluttered, direct, informative and intresting. I have read just the first chapters in Goodwin's history book. It too is just as readable as the stats book. I am looking forward to finishing this book. It is written so a person not studing psychology in school could read and understand it.

I was going to buy this book from the school bookstore, but it cost $140.00 plus shipping! I bought the book through Amazon for only $48.00 total(including shipping)! Awesome! Plus the book arrived in less than 3 days, although they stated 7-14. I received the book before the beginning of class! Fantastic!!!! The book was new and in excellent shape!
