American Psychology in Historical Perspective: Hilgard, Ernest R. (Ed.)

Full Title: American psychology in historical perspective: Addresses of the presidents of the American Psychological Association, 1892-1977,

 

The APA [American Psychological Association] presidential addresses in this volume were selected by Ernest R. Hilgard (himself a former president of the APA). Hilgard provides a unique perspective on the development of American psychology over four broad periods in psychology's history: the first 25 years (1892-1916), the years of the two world wars (1917-1945), the 20 years after World War II (1946-1967), and the recent past (1968-1977). For each of these periods, Hilgard provides a brief summary of thinking in psychology at the time, biographies of the APA presidents that include abstracts of their presidential addresses, and selected presidential addresses in full.
