'This marks a qualitative shift in the nature of textbooks in this field and will perhaps finally succeed in establishing how essential it is for students of psychology. The authors have done a brilliant, wide-ranging job in covering the crucial historical and philosophical issues in an original - and dare one say, learned - way.'
