Review
`In all, then, this is an interesting collection, with sufficient new material to justify its acquisition by libraries and scholars, even those that possess the earlier book.' Journal of the History of Behavioral Sciences, 39:3 (2003)
Product Description
Wilhelm Wundt is widely recognized as a founder of modern experimental psychology. One of his many contributions was to help establish the Leipzig Institute for Experimental Psychology -- the first graduate program in the field -- in 1879, the centennial celebration of which resulted in a number of studies including Wilhelm Wundt and the Making of a Scientific Psychology. In an extensive revision of this important book, first published by Plenum in 1980, a distinguished roster of contributors reconsider this much heralded `founding father' of modern psychology.
