Drawing on more than 25 contributions, this new book presents both a historical and personal account of British psychology over the last century. The book is divided into two sections: Part 1 contains a collection of historical essays concentrating on institutional beginnings, practical concerns, individual projects and post-war developments. Part 2 looks at the professional reminiscences of 12 senior psychologists.
