The Roots of Modern Social Psychology, a Paperback Book by Robert M. Farr

I was assigned to read this book for my intro to social psychology class in college! Here’s the blurb from the back of the book:

This volume traces the origins of social psychology in both the European and American traditions of thought, and seeks to place modern social psychology in its historical setting. Beginning with the emergence of psychology as an experimental and social science in Germany in the middle of the nineteenth century, the analysis continues until the emergence of the modern, highly individualized discipline in the postwar era in America.

The Roots of Modern Social Psychology focuses on the relations between psychology and the social sciences, includes sociological forms of social psychology and tackles its historiography as well as its history. It challenges the accuracy and adequacy of the existing histories and sets out a new agenda that will be important reading for students and researchers alike.
