This is a good source that contains original writings from historical figures of psychology. It explains who they are and the meaning behind their work while also giving you the opportunity to examine their work first hand. If you are considering this you should also consider: A Brief History of Modern Psychology. It is a good companion to this.

By Becky Thompson

This was a great textbook for the History of Psychology course. It offers unique and interesting original articles, correspondences, essays, and more from the greats in the field. Much better than reading a re-interpreted history textbook.
