History of psychology
An Introduction to the History of Psychology (Part I and Part II) written by B.R. Hegenhan (East China Normal University Press, 2004) examines the origin of psychology in detail and comprehensively describes various western psychological trends and schools. In China, the famous psychologist Che's monograph History of Western Psychology (Zhejiang Education Press, 1998) can basically represent the latest level of domestic research in this field. Zhang Chunxing's The Evolution of Psychological Thought —— A Biography of Psychologists (Shanghai Education Press, 2002) introduces the evolution of western psychological thought from the perspective of the biography of psychological celebrities. Merton Hunt's The Story of Psychology (Hainan Publishing House, 1999) takes famous psychologists as the characters in the story and tells the history of psychology vividly and interestingly in the form of stories. Several such books were published in the last century, such as History of Psychology by Li Hei (Zhejiang Education Press, 1998), History of Experimental Psychology by Pauline (Business Press, 198 1) and History of Modern Psychology by kovac (Business Press,/kloc-0).
For the history of China's psychological thoughts, you can read The History of China's Psychology (Zhejiang Education Press, 1998). Based on the analysis of psychological thinkers or their works in history, the author describes the development of ancient psychology in China in detail, and deeply analyzes the development history and background of modern psychology in China. The General History of Psychology (Shandong Education Press, 2000) consists of five volumes, one and two of which are the history of ancient and modern psychological thoughts in China.
The branch of psychology
The theoretical research scope of psychology is very wide, forming many branches of basic psychology, such as sensory psychology and memory psychology. Among these branches, personality psychology is a branch of psychology that systematically discusses human nature, and ordinary people are more interested. In this respect, Personality Psychology (China Light Industry Press, 2000) is novel, comprehensive and fascinating. In the translation of Personality Science (East China Normal University Press, 200 1), the author uses the topic of personality research as the structural layout, which is worth recommending.
psychology of emotion
We can recommend Emotional Psychology published by Liaoning People's Publishing House (1987) and Human Emotion written by famous domestic psychologist Meng (Shanghai People's Publishing House, 1989). A comprehensive new work on consciousness psychology is Consciousness and Brain-Multidisciplinary Research and Its Significance (2003), How the Brain Thinks-past lives of Intellectual Evolution (Shanghai Science and Technology Press, 1996) and Are Animals Conscious? (beijing institute of technology press, 2004) and so on are all good popular science books. In memory psychology, there are some popular books about how to improve memory, such as Memorabilia: 20 Memory Tips Discovered by Psychology (China Youth Publishing House, 1998) and some monographs, such as Memory Psychology (East China Normal University Press, 1999). In addition, there is a very durable popular science book about memory, Searching for Lost Oneself: Brain. In social psychology, Modern Social Psychology edited by Shi Ronghua (East China Normal University Press, 1997) is one of the more popular textbooks. There was an excellent introduction book of educational psychology: Educational Psychology: Theory and Practice (2004), and the seventh edition of the original book was introduced by People's Posts and Telecommunications Publishing House. Religious Psychology is the most detailed book (Sichuan People's Publishing House, 1992).
Floyd
In the development of western modern psychology, many schools and theories have emerged. So far, multi-channel research is still the status quo of modern psychology. Among them, psychoanalysis, behaviorism and humanistic psychology have the greatest influence and are called the three main forces of psychology.
Psychoanalysis was initiated by Freud and has been revised and developed since then. Its influence goes far beyond psychology, so its readership is correspondingly wider. Introduction to Psychoanalysis (Commercial Press, 1995) is a summary of Freud's early psychoanalytic theory, which can be used as the best introduction to Freud's own views. Interpretation of Dreams (Commercial Press, 200 1) is Freud's most influential classic and a must-read for a deeper understanding of Freud. In recent years, the eight-volume Collected Works of Freud (2004) published by Changchun Publishing House is the largest translation volume of Freud's works.
For Freud's biography, see irving stone's Passion for the Soul (Up and Down) (China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Publishing Company, 1986), which is a biographical novel with a large amount of information and strong readability. Another biography that pays more attention to Freud's thoughts is the highly edited Biography of Freud (bookstore, 1986), which is a traditional version and is not easy to buy. However, a simplified version of this book can be downloaded everywhere on the Internet now. At present, more new biographies of Freud written by China people can be seen on the market, but these new books do not introduce more first-hand materials, and basically they are rearrangements of previous materials, with little difference in content.
If you want to have a clear understanding of Freud's thoughts, you can also read some books introducing his thoughts. Charles brenner's Introduction to Psychoanalysis (Beijing Publishing House, 2000) summarizes Freud's basic ideas and the main contents of psychoanalysis, which is extremely rare in similar books. Freud and Marx (Renmin University of China Press, 2004) expounds the relationship between psychoanalysis and Marxism. Although this book was written in the 1930s, it still has its value.
Jung and Jung School
Oriental Zen Psychology-From Yijing to Zen (Social Science Literature Publishing House, 2000) is a collection of several articles by Jung. Theory and Practice of Analytical Psychology (Sanlian Bookstore, 199 1) and Modern People's Search for Soul (Guizhou People's Publishing House, 1987) were published earlier. The former is a collection of Jung's speeches, which is a good introductory book to understand Jung's early thoughts.
Jung's autobiography Memories, Dreams and Thoughts (Liaoning People's Publishing House, 1988) is Jung's best biography. Jung's Life and Work-Biographical Memoirs (Oriental Publishing House, 1998), written by Barbara Han, Jung's female disciple, looks a little taller. In addition, you can refer to Liu Yaozhong's Building a Temple of the Mind-A Biography of Jung, a Famous Western Psychologist (Oriental Publishing House, 1996) and Vintcent Brom's Wenchuan Translator and God (Xinhua Publishing House, 1997).
Compared with introducing the weakness of Jung's own works, it is very impressive to introduce Jung's thought and Jung's analytical school. Systematic, such as the Datura Series published by Oriental Publishing House 1998, including eight books such as Mother Goddess. In addition, The Dianjinshi Series published by China Social Sciences Publishing House includes four translations, such as The Jungian Way. The book about Jung's thought is Jung's Mysterious Psychology Series published by Heilongjiang People's Publishing House. At present, four books have been published, among which Mr. Shi Chunhua's book Mysterious Prototype is excellent, which clearly combs the most important prototype concept in Jung's theory. In addition, such books include Personality Shadow-Vitality with Destruction (Shanghai Translation Publishing House, 2003), Jung Psychology and Buddhism (Oriental Publishing House, 2004) and Jung Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism (Commercial Press, 1996). James hill Hillmann, the pioneer of post-Jungian archetypal psychology, wrote Decoding the Mind (Hainan Publishing House, 200 1), which expounded his interesting "acorn theory" and explored the exciting theme of "the call of fate", which was very enlightening. Richard Noel, the author of Jung Worship (Shanghai Translation Publishing House, 2002), stood on the side of Jung's criticism and tried to show "the true Jung in history". His novel ideas once caused a strong shock in Jung's research.
Adler Fromm, honey
Inferiority and Transcendence (Writers Publishing House, 1987) is Adler's most influential work, which has been published by many domestic publishing houses. Adler's latest translation is Understanding Human Nature published by Guizhou People's Publishing House (2004).
Almost all of Fromm's important works were published in the last century. For example, Escape from Freedom (China Workers Publishing House, 1987), The Art of Love (Huaxia Publishing House, 1987), For One's Own People (Sanlian Bookstore, 1988), A Sound Society (Guizhou People Publishing House,/kloc-).
In recent years, many works of honey have been published. Her self-analysis, the conflict within us and the neurotic personality of our time (2004) are included in the famous work Modern Society and People translated by Guizhou People's Publishing House. Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House has also published several important works about honey, such as Conflicts within us (1998), New Methods of Psychoanalysis (1999) and Neurosis and Human Growth (1996), which are the representative works of honey in his later years and his thoughts. Trading with Destiny (Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, 1997) is a new interpretation of four tragic characters of Shakespeare based on Horney's theory, which is very enlightening. Self-exploration of a psychoanalyst (1997) is a comprehensive survey of honey's life experience, inner conflict and ideological evolution, and it is really a rare work to understand honey and her thoughts.
Since Jung and Fromm, psychoanalysis has made many new developments. Postmodern Psychoanalysis (Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, 1997) is the collected works of Norman N Holland, which fully embodies the development of psychoanalysis in the postmodern period and shows the ideological charm of postmodern psychoanalysis. The Bible of Modern Psychoanalysis-Object Relationship Theory and Self-psychology (China Light Industry Press, 2002) generally introduces the progress and context of modern psychoanalysis in recent decades.
behaviourism
The theoretical system of behavioral psychology founded by Watson was very popular in the 1920s, which deeply influenced the process of psychology. Since then, behaviorism has continued to develop, and Skinner has the greatest influence. However, behaviorist works are rarely published in China, and even less interested by ordinary readers. Behaviorism (Zhejiang Education Press, 1998) is the best summary of Watson's behaviorism. Beyond Freedom and Dignity (Guizhou People's Publishing House, 1988) is an influential popular reading by Skinner. Based on the principle of behaviorism, the book puts forward many ideas about social design, and holds that citizens' behavior in society is best shaped and controlled according to various planned reward (reinforcement) systems. This book received fierce criticism and some praise. The book Shaping and Correction of Children's Behavior (Beijing Normal University Press, 1999) not only systematically expounds the principle of behaviorism, but also illustrates its application with vivid examples. Theory and application are well combined, and understanding behaviorism is a good choice.
humanitarianism
There is a very good collection of works by humanistic psychologists, Human Potential and Value (Huaxia Publishing House, 1987), but there seems to be no new edition of this book. Maslow and Post-Freudianism, a New Way of Psychology (Chinese Publishing House, 2002) and Maslow Psychology, the Third Trend of Thought (Shanghai Translation Publishing House, 200 1) both comprehensively introduced Maslow's thoughts as the most important representative of humanistic psychology. Maslow's biography includes The Right to Be a Man-Maslow's Biography (Huaxia Publishing House, 2003; Reform Press, 1998). Humanistic Psychology (Zhejiang Education Press, 2002) is a monograph that comprehensively and systematically introduces humanistic psychology in China. The book Three Psychology (China Light Industry Press, 2000) introduces the theories of Freud, Skinner and Rogers. The book is not thick and the introduction is simple and clear, which can be used as a good introductory book to understand these three aspects.
In addition to the above three forces, cognitive psychology began to rise in the second half of last century and gradually became the mainstream of western psychology. In this respect, the newly introduced Cognitive Psychology (East China Normal University Press, 2004) and Cognitive Psychology edited by Wang Su and Wang Ansheng (Peking University Press, 2003) are more popular.
About the development of various schools of western psychology, some comprehensive works have been published in China. For example, Gao Juefu's New Progress in Western Psychology (People's Education Press, 2002), YeHaoSheng's History and System of Western Psychology (People's Education Press, 2000), New Progress in Western Psychology Research (People's Education Press, 2003) and Guo Benyu's New Progress in Contemporary Psychology (Shandong Education Press, 2003). In addition, Hubei Education Press published a series of "A Review of Western Psychology Masters in the 20th Century" in 2000, which was divided into 15 volumes, and evaluated 15 masters representing various schools and different development directions in the development history of western psychology in the 20th century, from which we can also get a glimpse of the history of western psychology.
