Yes, the rumors were true. I am working on a brand new textbook on history of psychology. It shouldn’t be a surprise to my colleagues: I was giving warnings for some time already. History of Psychology was the first seminar I was asked to teach back in 1984. I lecture on this subject—with interruptions—for 20 years. Over all these years, I used several textbooks. Although they appeared comprehensive and clear, I was increasingly disappointed with the way they covered the history of this great discipline. Psychology is not just a sequence of ideas. It is a progressive, multidisciplinary, and cross-cultural science developing in the mercuric context of history—and this dynamic context was missing in the books. Well, instead of whining, I am writing. Check the Amazon (www.amazon.com) in a year or so.
