A Collectable Book From The American Father Of Psychology.
William James is often called the father of American psychology. He contributed significantly by founding the school of functionalism, focusing on how mental activities help individuals adapt to their environment. He also wrote The Principles of Psychology, a foundational text in the field.
William James, philosopher and psychologist, was instrumental in establishing Harvard's psychology department, which at its inception was tied to the department of philosophy. James himself remained unconvinced that psychology was in fact a distinct discipline, writing in his 1892 survey of the field, Psychology: Briefer Course .
