This course, intended for doctoral students in psychology, explores the historical development of psychological science and practice. Students will examine and discuss the original writings of persons involved in the making of psychology and of historians and others who have described and interpreted historical developments in psychology-as well as historical developments that influenced the making of psychology. The focus will be on understanding how the social, cultural, political and legal context of the times; developments in psychology and other sciences; technological advances; the evolution of the educational and scientific infrastructure; funding; and the growth in numbers of persons involved in psychological science and mental health have influenced psychology and been influenced by psychology. In other words, we will examine how psychological ideas about human nature, mental life, and behavior influence social and political events and arrangements as well as how social and political contexts influence psychological thinking and research.
