This valuable new bibliography fills a void in the reference literature of psychology and psychiatry by providing a guide to the major English-language periodicals in these fields. Designed to be a flexible collection development tool, this practical volume will facilitate librarians’decision making as they select and deselect serials according to the particular needs and interests of their patrons. Psychology and Psychiatry Serials consists of 305 titles, including some annuals, arranged alphabetically. The general topic areas include psychometrics, experimental psychology, developmental psychology, personality, physical and psychological disorders, treatment and prevention, educational psychology, applied psychology, and general psychology. The journals were selected from those indexed in such sources as Psychological Abstracts and Current Index to Journals in Education and were reviewed on the basis of subject relevance, importance within subject area, attention to current professional issues, level of scholarship, and inclusion in major indexing and abstracting tools. The citation for each publication consists of the current title, date of publication of first volume (under the current title), frequency of publication, publisher, ISSN, indexing and abstracting tools in which the publication is listed, and a brief annotation. Each entry also includes one or more “subject codes” that correspond to the 16 areas used for classification of Psychological Abstracts entries. An index following the entries lists titles by subject area and list of publishers’addresses is included to facilitate the request of sample issues and queries about the subscription process. Created by professional librarians with years of experience in these subject areas, Psychology and Psychiatry Serials has innumerable practical and theoretical applications for librarians: the bibliography can be used in the technical services fields where serials control, acquisitions, and cataloging demand greater precision in the description of published materials the entries for publication histories and publication frequency can furnish authoritative data for bibliographic descriptions the annotations and subject category codes will be useful starting points for subject analysis the convenience of the bibliography makes characteristics of serial literature studies relatively easy to do since it reduces the amount of work an investigator needs to do to gather primary data about serials in terms of evaluating indexing and abstracting services of core materials, the list has great potential for duplication and overlap studies with a core publication format, the list can be used to quickly compare index counts in psychology and behavioral sciences as a whole, and in particular subjects the list can also be used as a companion to existing lists, some of which are more comprehensive and exhaustive

This book, first published in 2002, gathers some of America's top subject expert librarians to determine the most influential journals in their respective fields. 32 contributing authors reviewed journals from over twenty countries that have successfully shaped the evolution of their individual specialties worldwide. Their choices reflect the history of each discipline or profession, taking into account rivalries between universities, professional societies, for-profit and not-for-profit publishers, and even nation-states and international ideologies, in each journal's quest for reputational dominance. Each journal was judged using criteria such as longevity of publication, foresight in carving out its niche, ability to attract & sustain professional or academic affiliations, opinion leadership or agenda-setting power, and ongoing criticality to the study or practice of their field. The book presents wholly independent reviewers; none are in the employ of any publisher, but each is fully credentialed and well published, and many are award-winners. The authors guide college and professional school librarians on limited budgets via an exposition of their analytical and critical winnowing process in determining the classic resources for their faculty, students, and working professional clientele.

Genre: Philosophy
ISBN: 1134801114

First published in 1995. When did psychology become a distinct discipline? What links the continental and analytic traditions in philosophy? Answers to both questions are found in this extraordinary account of the debate surrounding psychologism in Germany at the turn of the century. The trajectory of twentieth century philosophy has been largely determined by this anti-naturalist view which holds that empirical research is in principle different from philosophical inquiry, and can never make significant contributions to the latter's central issues. Martin Kusch explores the origins of psychologism through the work of two major figures in the history of twentieth century philosophy, Gottlob Frege and Edmund Husserl. His sociological and historical reconstruction shows how the power struggle between the experimental psychologists and pure philosophers influenced the thought of these two philosophers, shaping their agendas and determining the success of their arguments for a sharp separation of logic from psychology. A move that was crucial in the creation of the distinct discipline of psychology and was responsible for the anti-naturalism found in both the analytic and the phenomenological traditions in philosophy. Students and lecturers in philosophy, psychology, linguistics, cognitive science and history will find this study invaluable for understanding a key moment in the intellectual history of the twentieth century.

ISBN: 1316368467

In the new edition of this original and penetrating book, John D. Greenwood provides an in-depth analysis of the subtle conceptual continuities and discontinuities that inform the history of psychology from the speculations of the Ancient Greeks to contemporary cognitive psychology. He also demonstrates the fashion in which different conceptions of human and animal psychology and behavior have become associated and disassociated over the centuries. Moving easily among psychology, history of science, physiology, and philosophy, Greenwood provides a critically challenging account of the development of psychology as a science. He relates the remarkable stories of the intellectual pioneers of modern psychology, while exploring the social and political milieu in which they operated, and dispels many of the myths of the history of psychology, based upon the best historical scholarship of recent decades. This is an impressive overview that will appeal to scholars and graduate students of the history of psychology.
