Description
A dazzling array of the key works in psychological literature, exploring the most intriguing questions relating to what motivates us, what makes us feel and act in certain ways, how our brains work and how we create a sense of self. Included are the writings of Freud, Adler, de Bono, Erikson, Eysenck, Frankl, Gladwell, James, Jung, Horney, Kinsey, Klein, Laing, Maslow. Piaget, Pavlov, Pinker, Rogers, Sacks, Skinner and Watson, among others. One can see the progress from purely ‘mind’ (psychoanalysis) and purely ‘matter’ (behaviourism) in psychology to the more hopeful methods of individuation and cognitive therapy.
