While the historical roots of psychology have not changed since the first edition of this book, some of the offshoots of the various theories and systems discussed have been crit- ically reexamined and have undergone far-reaching modifications. New and bold research has led to a broadening of perspectives, and recent devel- opments in several areas required a considerable amount of rewriting. I have been fortunate in the last fifteen years to have worked with about 2,000 psychologists and other behavioral scientists who contributed to several collected volumes I have edited. As the editor-in-chief of the In- ternational Encyclopedia of Psychiatry, Psychology, Psychoanalysis and Neurol- ogy, I have had the privilege of reading, scrutinizing, and editing the work of 1,500 experts in psychology and related disciplines. In addition, I have written several books and monographs and over one hundred scientific papers. Armed with all that experience, I have carefully examined the pages of the first edition. Chapter 8 required substantial rewriting and several new sections have been added to other chapters: \"Current Soviet Psychol- ogy\" (Chapter 2, Section 7); \"New Ideas on Purposivism\" (Chapter 5, Sec- tion 4); \"Recent Developments in the Sociological School of Psychoanalysis\" (Chapter 9, Section 4); and \"Present Status of Gestalt Psychology\" (Chapter 12, Section 4). Chapter 15 was omitted, and two new chapters were added: Chapter 14 (\"Humanistic Psychology\") and Chapter 16 (\"Selected Research Areas\").\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45285065785495,"sku":"9781468438024","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781468438024.webp?v=1769283035","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/contemporary-theories-and-systems-in-psychology-9781468438024","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
