More about the book
The discussion centers on the evolution of psychological theories, highlighting how once-popular concepts have become outdated curiosities. Graduate students explore historical trivia, including Le Bon's "group mind" and Mesmer's animal magnetism, while questioning the unusual pairing of abnormal and social psychology in a single journal. This prompts a deeper inquiry into the historical context that linked these fields and the implications of such combinations in the development of psychological thought. The conversation reveals the shifting landscape of psychology and its theories over time.
