In this book we describe, in social context, the history and philosophy of natural-science and human-science psychologies. We highlight the international diversity of thought and practice in Psychology. Addressing broad issues and debates that shift across historical eras and connect earlier and later historical figures, we consider the socio-economic and political context of Psychology, the place of women and diverse cultures in Psychology, assumptions about objectivity and subjectivity in Psychology and the relationship of Psychology to spirituality and religion.
