Global, interdisciplinary, and engaging, this textbook integrates materials from philosophical and biological origins to the historical development of psychology. Its extensive coverage of women, minorities, and psychologists around the world emphasizes psychology as a global phenomenon while looking at both local and worldwide issues. This perspective highlights the relationship between psychology and the environmental context in which the discipline developed. In tracing psychology from its origins in early civilizations, ancient philosophy, and religions to modern science, technology, and applications, this book integrates overarching psychological principles and ideas that have shaped the global history of psychology, keeping an eye toward the future of psychology. Updated and revised throughout, this new edition also includes a new chapter on clinical psychology.

'This has been my favorite text for my History of Psychology course; there is no other text on the market quite like it. This volume provides a rare "wide lens" view of Psychology both from an international and gender inclusive vantage point. The new volume will serve as foundational material for our newly developed Cross-Cultural and International Psychology concentration. Bravo to the authors for this landmark work!' -Jonathan Appel, Professor, Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences, Tiffin University
