Explains the development of the disciplinary conception of psychology from its appearance in the late sixteenth century to its redefinition at the end of the seventeenth and its emergence as an institutionalized field in the eighteenth. This title reveals that psychology existed before the eighteenth century essentially as a physics of the soul.

Trade Review
"The Sciences of the Soul is clearly the product of a substantial period of sustained research. It will set the framework for research in the history of psychology in the period from 1600 to 1850 for many years to come and will also entail changes in the usual discussion of the 'origin' of psychology as a discipline." (Gary Hatfield, author of Perception & Cognition: Essays in the Philosophy of Psychology)"
