New Volumes in the CHP Series

Harry Levi Hollingworth was one of the pioneers in the field known today as industrial-organizational psychology.  He was the author of more than 20 books and 100 scientific and theoretical articles.The Center for the History of Psychology will soon be releasing his previously unpublished autobiography, consisting of two volumes unearthed in our collections.

These volumes provide an intimate account of the life and career of a very successful applied researcher who claims, in this autobiography, that the applied problems to which he devoted virtually his entire life were never of interest to him and that he did such work only for the money. The paradox of this claim offers considerable insight into the prejudices faced by applied scientists and illustrates how Hollingworth tried to separate himself from his own accomplishments.

The two volumes will be released in 2012.
