Contemporary schools of psychology
Woodworth, Robert S.
Contemporary schools of psychology created by Robert S. Woodworth - London Methuen & Co. Ltd 1931 - 279 pages
Includes bibliographical references and index
Our schools and their background - Functional and structural psychology - Associationism old and new - Behaviorism - Gestalt psychology - Pyschoanalysis and related schools - Hormic and holistic psychologies - The middle of the road
The major schools of psychology as they existed in 1931, when the first edition of this survey was published, are still contemporary schools. Considerable revision is called for, however, not because any radically new schools have come forward, but because important new developments have occurred in nearly every one of the existing schools. This is notably true of behaviorism, Gestalt psychology, and psychoanalysis. Behaviorism has risen to a more critical scientific level; Gestalt psychology has branched out into new fields; psychoanalysis has changed somewhat in its clinical methods and still more in its theory.
