New Horizons In Psychology

New Horizons In Psychology (1969) by Brian M. Foss – Sold by Crappy Old Books

Crack open the earnest optimism of late-60s academia with New Horizons In Psychology, a wide-ranging survey edited by Brian M. Foss and published under the trusty blue spine of Pelican Books. Inside, you’ll find a collection of essays from leading minds of the day grappling with the big questions: how do we think, learn, remember, behave, and (sometimes) misbehave? It’s all here—conditioned responses, cognitive frontiers, developmental theories—with that unmistakable post-war British blend of hope, rigor, and stiff-upper-lip curiosity.

This is psychology before TED Talks, before TikTok therapists—back when theories came in typewritten paragraphs and everyone still argued about Freud in the footnotes. Whether you’re a vintage psych nerd, a student of academic history, or someone who just loves the smell of yellowed paper and outdated optimism, this book is a fascinating time capsule.

Condition: Slightly musty, mildly annotated by someone who either loved or hated Skinner—hard to tell. But the spine’s intact and so is the ambition.

Crappy Old Books: We sell the past, one well-meaning paperback at a time.
