This Week in the History of Psychology podcasts

This is an interesting page I found while searching about the history of Psychology. This site includes podcasts of interviews about certain historical happenings related to psychology. They are all conducted by a professor of Psychology at York University, Toronto and are around 25 minutes long.

Examples include: Malcolm Macmillan on the life and myth of Phineas Gage, David Baker on the psychograph: the 1930s’ automatic phrenologist, Ludy T. Benjamin Jr. on Nobel prizes won and lost by psychologists and "near-psychologists."

  1. This sounds good, Clara. Can you provide the address of the website?

  2. The podcasts were produced by Chris Green, who is currently president of the Society for the History of Psychology (APA Division 26). The episodes are each available from his website at York University: http://www.yorku.ca/christo/podcasts/.

    He also has a blog, "Advances in the History of Psychology," which is also available free from York: http://ahp.yorku.ca/.
