Abstract

Csaba Pléh's two-volume history of psychology focuses on the diversification and professionalization of the field, covering topics such as depth psychology, motivation, personality, developmental psychology, behaviorism, social psychology, and cognitive psychology. Pléh emphasizes European contributions to psychology throughout the 20th century, challenging the notion that psychology is dominated solely by North America. While the text is rich in theoretical ideas and primary sources, it may be challenging for some readers due to its complexity and occasional typographical errors. Overall, the work serves as a valuable reference for those well-versed in psychology seeking a European perspective on the discipline. [Extracted from the article]
