Wilhelm Wundt is widely recognized as a founder of modern experimental psychology. One of his many contributions was to help establish the Leipzig Institute for Experimental Psychology - the first graduate program in the field - in 1879, the centennial celebration of which resulted in a number of studies including Wilhelm Wundt and the Making of a Scientific Psychology . In an extensive revision of this important book, first published by Plenum in 1980, a distinguished roster of contributors reconsider this much heralded `founding father' of modern psychology.

This book presents new insights into Freud’s famous “discovery” of the unconscious and the subsequent development of psychoanalytic theories. The authors explore the original context in which these ideas arose and the central debate about mind as matter or something that transcends matter. In the course of this examination, it is demonstrated that Freud was influenced not only by the 19th century scientific milieu, but also by ancient cultures.

Two major influences, Egyptian mythology and Jewish mysticism are analyzed in terms of similarities to Freud’s emerging ideas about the mind and its diseases.

Exploring the concept of human wickedness, this book critiques two significant obstacles: inappropriate scientism and moralism. It argues that a misguided scientific perspective diminishes the acknowledgment of human agency in global events, treating human behavior as merely a response to external factors. This framework neglects the potential for individual and collective decisions to shape conduct, suggesting that moral responsibility is essential for understanding human actions. The work invites readers to reconsider the interplay between human agency and external influences.

Utilizing case history methodology, the book explores the intricate relationship between theory and practice in the study of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). It delves into the clinical and social history of dissociation, offering a thought-provoking analysis of this complex psychological phenomenon.

Delving into Freud's groundbreaking exploration of the unconscious, this work examines the historical context of his theories and the pivotal discussions surrounding the nature of the mind. The authors analyze the tension between viewing the mind as a physical entity and as something that transcends material existence, providing fresh perspectives on psychoanalytic thought.
