SOME HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS OF INTEREST
Please note that many of these articles are
linked directly to the Classics in the History of Psychology website where they
were originally presented in an electronic format. This has been done at
the request of Dr. Christopher Green, the developer of that website. Dr. Green
has done a fantastic job of making some of the most influential works in
psychology available to future generations at the click of a mouse button. I STRONGLY
recommend accessing his website through the links section of this site
and enjoy this rich window into the minds and works of our predecessors (sorry
starting to wax a bit lyrical there!). If any of these links are not functioning
I would appreciate people dropping me an e-mail.
