    About this ebook

    A History of Modern Psychology, 3rd Edition discusses the development and decline of schools of thought in modern psychology. The book presents the continuing refinement of the tools, techniques, and methods of psychology in order to achieve increased precision and objectivity. Chapters focus on relevant topics such as the role of history in understanding the diversity and divisiveness of contemporary psychology; the impact of physics on the cognitive revolution and humanistic psychology; the influence of mechanism on Descartes's thinking; and the evolution of the third force, humanistic psychology. Undergraduate students of psychology and related fields will find the book invaluable in their pursuit of knowledge.

    Duane Schultz

    This is Duane Schultz’s first foray in writing a book, as he wanted to do a legacy piece for his children and grandchildren. After this stint in rock and roll back in the day, he graduated from college and worked for Wisconsin’s Governor Lucy as an Administrative Assistant, then setting up workforce training programs across the state. He was then hired on at Milwaukee Area Technical College. Initially, he worked with community-based classes, retraining programs, and outreach efforts, and then he set up workplace education and supervised technology programs in the technical and industrial division. He wrote numerous state and federal grants while working at the college. He is now retired and living in the Milwaukee area.
