Hypnosis, Will, and Memory: A Psycho-Legal History HYPNOSIS, WILL, AND MEMORY, in providing a comprehensive history of hypnosis, illuminates current debates concerning its use in legal and investigative proceedings. Jean-Roch Laurence and Perry Campbell show how powerful certain beliefs and expectations that have always pervaded hypnosis remain in contemporary thought.

Unfolding Social Constructionism (History and Philosophy of Psychology) Throughout the 20th century, psychology generally and social psychology in particular has been dominated by individualism. It has focused on the subject as ultimately biological to the neglect of the subject as a social being.

This approach emphasizes the historicity, context-dependence, and socio-linguistically constituted character of all matters bearing on human activity. Many versions…. Click Here to Read More

Some Neglected Aspects of a History of Psychology an excerpt from the beginning: Psychology stands in a peculiar relation to the sciences of life and to the physical sciences, for it is one of the youngest of Philosophy’s children and, on that account, has fallen heir, as do the successive members of any growing family, to a number of family treasures, some good, some bad, and some indifferent. Among other things, it has inherited from the physical sciences a well-rounded methodology and a refined laboratory technique; and from the sciences of life, a “genetic” way of regarding mind in its relation to life. Moreover, in the near future, some one will write a history of the development…. Click Here to Read More
