Review Quotes: From the reviews: "Historians of psychology will of course want to read this ... for the details of the contributors' lives, but I want to reflect on an aspect of the theme of marginalization. ... the authors represent a European-New York take on psychology, America, and the 20th century. ... This particular History of Psychology in Autobiography reveals that institutional psychology reflects the political and social divisions of modern American culture." (Thomas H. Leahey, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 54 (51), December, 2009)
