Naming the Mind - How Psychology Found Its Language - Paperback - 1997

This fascinating work is a persuasive explanation of how modern psychology found its language. Kurt Danziger develops an account that goes beyond the takenforgranted quality of psychological discourse to offer a profound and broadranging analysis of the recent evolution of the concepts and categories on which it depends. Danziger explores this process and shows how its consequences depend on cultural contexts and the history of an emergent discipline.
