A rich and engaging guide to psychology, the science devoted to understanding human nature &nbsp; What really drives our decisions? Where do language and memory come from? Why do our minds sometimes seem to work against us? Psychologists have long attempted to answer these questions, seeking to understand human behaviour, feelings, and thoughts. But how to explore something so elusive? &nbsp; In this fascinating history, leading expert Nicky Hayes tells the story of psychology across the centuries and around the world. Hayes introduces key thinkers, including Carl Jung, Anna Freud, Frantz Fanon, and Daniel Kahneman. We see how they tried to expand our understanding, from Pavlov and his dogs to Milgram and his famous electric shock experiments to the CIA's secret mind-control projects. Hayes explores key concepts like child development, the inferiority complex, and PTSD and shows how psychological research has been used for both good and ill. &nbsp; This Little History shines a light on the ever-advancing study of psychology, how the field has evolved over time--and how much more we need to learn.

Psychology in Perspective

'...a useful book. What is specially welcome is that Hayes is radical without being either ranting or obscure. It should be widely read.' - David Cohen, New Scientist;Psychology in Perspective is a set of stimulating and provocative essays about contemporary psychology and its influence. They show how psychological knowledge is located within, and also contributes to, its social, political and economic context. Ranging from the use of dubious psychological evidence to legitimise the eugenics of the Nazi gas chambers; to the hijacking of cognitive psychology by the computer metaphor, Psychology in Perspective shows how the complexities of human behaviour have been consistently ignored by reductionist approaches to psychology, and discusses how a valid picture of the human being invariably encompasses more than one level of explanation.
