Martin Sixsmith explores the evolution of psychology on both sides of the Atlantic. From May 2014.

In this programme Martin Sixsmith examines the evolution of psychology on both sides of the Atlantic, from the founding father of American psychology William James to the Gestalt movement in Germany, through the rise of behaviourism in the United States to the cognitive revolution of the 1960s.

He talks to the veteran psychologist George Mandler, who was part of that revolution, about how it still influences thinking today.
