HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF PSYCHOLOGY

Author: Dr. Chavi Bhargava Sharma, Dr. Anita Gupta

The history and philosophy of psychology is an account of the past, a record of how and what happened to make psychology what it is today. Like all history, the history of psychology is both interesting and boring too. It has been taught in universities as ' Systems and Theories of Psychology ", " History and Philosophy of Psychology ' etc. but is a mandatory paper for all those studying psychology in any university in the world. Yet surprisingly not very many books have been written. The books on the grand historical evolution of psychology from philosophy are complex and academic. For students, the paper becomes theoretical and less exciting too .
