-Althouth historians might find the book most useful as a reference source, undergraduate and graduate students in history and systems of psychology courses may welcome its more contemporary focus as a refreshing change from the usual emphasis on the emergence of psychology as a discipline and the `schools' approach. This book is a pioneering attempt to survey a large historical territory and to chart its major landmarks, both intellectual and institutional; it should stimulate a deeper appreciation of psychology's recent past. —Journal of the History of Behavioral Sciences
