Psychologists' impressions of major developments and issues within psychology are of special importance, as are discussions of their feelings, motives, and aspirations or of significant events that would increase the reader's understanding of each psychologist and his or her contributions to psychology. In brief, the chapters provide an intellectual life history, illuminated by personal background and inner motives"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved).
