Gardner Murphy
Gardner Murphy (1895-1979) was one of the most beloved and revered psychologists in the mid-twentieth century, as well as an inspiring leader in psychical research. His creativity, integrative powers, idea generation, and devotion to the highest scientific standards expanded and consolidated both fields of study. This rich and important biography, gracefully written by his wife and longtime professional colleague, records both his professional and his personal life. He was seen by some colleagues as a major integrator of the different trends in psychology at a time of fragmentation; by others as an enlarger of the scope of psychology when it was too limited; and by still others as a humanizer of psychology when it was forgetting the needs of human beings. Intensely committed to these efforts as he was, the whole Gardner Murphy was seen by few of his peers. I have tried to describe his dimensions and some of what he meant to his generation and what he bequeathed to the next one.--From the Preface.

There is More Beyond
When Gardner Murphy was awarded the Gold Medal Award of the American Psychological Foundation, its highest honor, he was cited for his felicitous writing. He wrote over 200 papers in psychology, parapsychology, and the place of humanity in the universe: theoretical works, research reports, plans and suggestions, insights shared with educators, counselors, health professional and parents--and works of a philosophical bent, which more than any other established his benign dominance of his field. This anthology gives seventeen of his most remarkable papers, which have not lost their place in the forefront of today's literature.
Edgar Gardner Murphy, Gentle Progressive
"Bailey's account is sharply focused on Murphy's public life and thought [and] the result is a well-researched, balanced, straightforward narrative that will serve as the standard authority." -"American Historical Review"

Rebels Within the Ranks
During the 1930s, psychologists Gordon Allport, Gardner Murphy, and Lois Barclay Murphy emerged from the fields of social and personality psychology to challenge the neo-behavioralist status quo in American social science. Willing to experiment with the idea of 'science' itself, these 'rebels within the ranks' contested ascendent conventions that cast the study of human life in the image of classical physics. Drawing on the intellectual, social, and political legacies of William James' radically empiricist philosophy and radical Social Gospel theology, these three psychologists developed critiques of scientific authority and democratic reality as they worked at the crossroads of the social and the personal in New Deal America. Appropriating models from natural history, they argued for the significance of individuality, contextuality and diversity as scientific concepts as they explored what they envisioned as the nature of democracy, and the democracy of nature.
