This volume is not simply a collection of personal chronologies which might inspire or lend appreciation to a younger generation. Our contributors write from their personal and professional experience, of course, but they write of their thinking and understanding of the psyche as an aspect of human life, of psychology as an academic form of human sciences’ inquiry, and so bring to bear their scientific and philosophical imagination to their personal challenges intheir chosen vocation as psychologists. Our contributors cover a broad swath of the second half of the 20th century, the century of psychology. Nurturing the discipline from within various philosophical, social-political, and cultural roots, their autobiographies exemplify marginality, if not alienation, from the mainstream, even as their professional and personal lives give expression to engaged scholarship, commitment to vocation and, straightforwardly and reflectively, a love of the heart. Key psychologists offer insights into their life and work Unique collection of autobiographies that does not exist elsewhere Important addition to standard history of psychology volumes INDICE: Against the tide: making waves and breaking silences - Erika Apfelbaum.- Reflections on my years in psychology - David Bakan.- Confessions of a marginal psychologist - Kurt Danziger.- Professional marginalization in psychology: choice or destiny? - Amedeo Giorgi.- Psychology in self representations - Carl Graumann.- The autobiography of a marginal psychologist: as much as I like Bob - Robert Rieber.- In search and proof of human beings, not machines - Joseph Rychlak.
