    About this ebook

    This “profusely and beautifully illustrated” historical survey of psychology from prehistory to modern times is “ideal” and “highly recommended.” (Midwest Book Review)



    What could be more fascinating than the workings of the human mind? This stunningly illustrated survey in Sterlings Milestones series chronicles the history of psychology through 250 landmark events, theories, publications, experiments, and discoveries. Beginning with ancient philosophies of well-being, it touches on such controversial topics as phrenology, sexual taboos, electroshock therapy, multiple personality disorder, and the nature of evil.
