Kaup valmöguleikar
Auðug og áhugaverð leiðsögn um sálfræði, vísindagreinina sem leitast við að skilja mannlegt eðli. Hvað stýrir ákvörðunum okkar í raun? Hvaðan koma tungumálið og minnið? Hvers vegna virðist hugurinn stundum vinna gegn okkur? Sálfræðingar hafa lengi reynt að svara þessum spurningum og öðlast skilning á hegðun, tilfinningum og hugsunum fólks. En hvernig er hægt að rannsaka eitthvað sem svo erfitt er að henda reiður á? Í þessari heillandi sögulegu umfjöllun rekur Nicky Hayes sögu sálfræðinnar í gegnum aldirnar og víða um heim.
Hayes kynnir helstu hugsuði greinarinnar, þar á meðal Carl Jung, Anna Freud, Frantz Fanon og Daniel Kahneman. Fjallað er um tilraunir þeirra til að auka skilning okkar, allt frá Pavlov og hundum hans til Milgram og frægra tilrauna hans með rafstuð, auk leynilegra tilrauna CIA til hugarstjórnunar. Hayes kannar lykilhugtök á borð við þroska barna, minnimáttarkennd og áfallastreituröskun og sýnir hvernig sálfræðirannsóknir hafa verið nýttar bæði til góðs og ills.
A rich and engaging guide to psychology, the science devoted to understanding human nature What really drives our decisions? Where do language and memory come from? Why do our minds sometimes seem to work against us? Psychologists have long attempted to answer these questions, seeking to understand human behaviour, feelings, and thoughts. But how to explore something so elusive? In this fascinating history, leading expert Nicky Hayes tells the story of psychology across the centuries and around the world.
Hayes introduces key thinkers, including Carl Jung, Anna Freud, Frantz Fanon, and Daniel Kahneman. We see how they tried to expand our understanding, from Pavlov and his dogs to Milgram and his famous electric shock experiments to the CIA’s secret mind-control projects. Hayes explores key concepts like child development, the inferiority complex, and PTSD and shows how psychological research has been used for both good and ill.
