Reihe: Library of the History of Psychological Theories

This work is the book to look at the history of psychology in a different way: from the perspective of a history of the critique of psychology, rather than from the perspective of a great pioneer, Zeitgeist, or the cumulative progress of knowledge. In this unique perspective, which focuses on the last 200 years, historical and theoretical reconstructions are combined.
