In 1956, two of the most eminent psychologists of the 20th century went head to head in one of the most compelling debates in the history of psychology. These were not simply two different theories. They were two fundamentally different visions of what it means to be human.
This debate not only offers a fascinating insight into the thinking of two of the most influential psychologists of the 20th Century, but also a wonderful historical snapshot of the ideological battles going on within psychology at the time.
All three papers from this landmark 1956 debate are now available to read in full for free.
