Visão europeia sobre a história da Psicologia

Um bom livro introdutório pra quem quer saber um pouco sobre a Psicologia. Explica em palavras simples os principais conceitos das principais correntes da Psicologia.

Se bem as autoras trazem certas reflexões "modernas" como por exemplo a Ética, a proteção de dados, novas tecnologias e feminismo, ao mesmo tempo dedicaram muito poucas páginas (menos de 5) pra falar sobre correntes psicologicas não tradicionais.
