More About This Textbook
Overview
Robert D. Nye's THREE PSYCHOLOGIES clearly and succinctly presents the essential ideas of Freud, Skinner, and Rogers, three of the most important contributors to contemporary psychological thought. A brief introductory chapter gives an overview of each perspective and points out some basic differences among the theories. Chapters Two, Three, and Four discuss the basic ideas of the three psychologists, including practical examples, real-world applications, and commentaries. Chapter Five compares the theories on specific topics, also offering critical evaluations, and Nye's personal comments. An Epilogue includes concise information about cognitive psychology and Albert Ellis's rational-emotive behavior therapy, so that readers can compare these currently popular approaches with those of Freud, Skinner, and Rogers.
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
The author does a remarkable job of being fair, comprehensive, and above all objective in his treatment of each of the three theories.Dr. Nye's writing style...is easily understandable...I like the fact that even though the chapters are concisely written, they include all the high points of the major theoretical orientations presented.
