This international textbook is the result of a close collaboration between Philip Zimbardo (Stanford University), Mark McDermott (University of East London), and Nico Metaal and Jeroen Jansz (Leiden University).

It has been adopted at British, Scandinavian, German and Dutch universities

J. Jansz & P. van Drunen, Eds. (2004). A Social History of Psychology. Oxford: Blackwell.
Peter van Drunen and I initiated the project to write a systematic social history of modern psychology. A small team of authors realized the project. The book aims to show how the rapid expansion of psychology is related to practices of social management, and the historical process of individualization. It covers the central domains of practical psychology: child rearing, education, work, and mental health care, but also a number of fields that generally receive less attention in historical accounts: culture and ethnicity, delinquency and law, and social psychology.
