Review of The history of the International Union of Psychological Science..

Reviews the book, The history of the International Union of Psychological Science by Mark R. Rosenzweig, Wayne W. Holtzman, Michel Sabourin, and David Belanger (2000). In 1997, the Executive Committee of the International Union of Psychological Science initiated a project to trace the development of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS), not only since its founding at the 14th International Congress of Psychology at Stockholm, 1951, but going back to 1881 when a young Polish psychologist first proposed the ideas of an international congress and of an international association of psychological societies (p. xi). The authors have managed to include a great deal of information, and it must be said that the result occasionally resembles a book of lists (e.g., lists of who attended the various congresses, the percentage of attendees from each country, etc.). Read from cover to cover, the book provides a very useful compendium of the proceedings of IUPsyS and its predecessors. A very strong feature of this book is its many photographs. Throughout the book there are several very useful tables that provide lists of the members of the various congresses as well as the officers of the IUPsyS. While it is as much a reference book as a history, it is still a very useful and interesting reference book that should be in every university library.
