If you've ever wanted to delve more deeply into the mysteries of human emotion, perception, and cognition, and of why we do what we do, these 48 lectures offer a superb place to start. With them, you'll see the entire history of psychology unfold. In the hands of Professor Robinson, these lectures encompass ideas, speculations, and point-blank moral questions that might just dismantle and rebuild everything you once thought you knew about psychology. In fact, you'll not only learn what psychology is, but even if it is, as Professor Robinson discusses the constantly shifting debate over the nature of psychology itself. Lecture by lecture, Professor Robinson navigates from one subject to the next, and you'll follow along as he recreates a Platonic dialogue; explains brain physiology; or explores the intricacies of middle ear construction, the psychological underpinnings of the Salem witch trials, and the history of the insanity defense. Among other things, you'll learn:

AudioFile Magazine
A Georgetown University expert on the history of psychology gives an expansive series of lectures on the discipline. After placing our study of human functioning in the broadest cultural, religious, and political contexts, he explains the philosophical and scientific psychology most listeners are familiar with. The recording is flawless, and the enthusiastic Dr. Robinson is a pleasure to hear. The program comes with a printed summary of each lecture, reading lists, and questions for listeners to consider. At 24 hours, these lectures are a commitment. But the serious student would be hard-pressed to find fault with any aspect of this outstanding learning program. T.W.
