Abstract

Although scientific psychology has existed in the United States for almost a century, a comprehensive and detailed treatise on its historical development has not yet been written. In particular, reports on the history of the various departments of psychology are either nonexistent or inaccessible. The following study proposes a methodology that will enable any interested person to generate parts of such information, and applies this methodology for a structural historical analysis of the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan.
