This reissued edition (originally published by McGraw-Hill in 1985) of "A Century of Psychology as Science" assesses the accomplishments, status and prospects of psychology at the end of its first century as a science, while offering a new postscript. The essays reflect the 43 contributors' specific disciplines, yet speak to the broader thematic issue of "fundamental psychology". Among the fields addressed are sensory processes and perception, learning, motivation, emotion, cognition, development, personality and social psychology. This work reviews psychology's first century and aims to provide a fresh insight on psychology as it enters its second century.

Through carefully selected and extensively annotated original sources, Foundations of Psychological Thought: A History of Psychology deals with some of the most important issues and ideas in the history of psychological thought. Defining questions such as "How do we distinguish between normal and abnormal behavior?" and "How much of our behavior is biologically determined?" are posed throughout the book. By providing context, background, and interpretation, the editors make the material more accessible to contemporary students. The editors' annotations, found throughout the readings, provide straightforward information about the original text–definitions, translations, underlying assumptions, important contexts, and related ideas. While the readings stretch back as far as the seventeenth century, there are also articles from the past thirty years, showing the evolution of ideas and emphasizing that these topics are still very much with us.
