It began during wartime. The atmosphere of crisis sustained from the 1940's through the Cold War gave psychological "experts" an opportunity to prove their social theories and behavioral techniques. Psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists carved a niche within government and began shaping military, foreign, and domestic policy. Herman examines this marriage of politics and psychology, which continued through the tumultuous 1960's. --From publisher's description. 517 $aromance of American psychology 531 $aROMANCE OF AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGY: POLITICAL CULTURE IN THE AGE OF EXPERTS 606 $aPsychology$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPsychology$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPsychology$xHistory$y20th century$zUnited States 606 $aPsychology 606 $aBehavioral Sciences 606 $aBehavioral Disciplines and Activities 606 $aPsychiatry and Psychology 615 00$aPsychology$xHistory 615 12$aPsychology$xHistory. 615 0$aPsychology$xHistory 615 2$aPsychology. 615 2$aBehavioral Sciences. 615 2$aBehavioral Disciplines and Activities. 615 2$aPsychiatry and Psychology 676 $a150/.973/09045 700 $aHerman$b Ellen$01233544 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910496152703321 996 $aThe romance of American psychology$92865050 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
