This, the first in a series of monographs published by the Society's History of Psychology Centre, outlines the development of the profession in the United Kingdom during its first century of existence. It describes a number of different themes that have emerged over time and documents key points in the profession's development. Between each chapter is a vignette conveying personal accounts of the profession over the decades described.
