A History of Clinical Psychology

The first edition of this book, which describes the history of clinical psychology decade-by-decade beginning with the late 18th century, was published twenty years ago. During the intervening years, clinical psychology has made some significant strides in its professional development. In addition to revising old chapters for this new edition, the author has added new text. This new material looks at personality functioning (human development and the unconscious), diagnostic techniques, diagnostic formulation (health psychology, holistic medicine, treatment methods (drugs, hypnotherapy, psychoanalysis), and professional development (American Psychological Association).
