Wolfgang K?hler (1887-1967) was one of the founders of Gestalt psychology, the influential school that argues that perception is best understood as an organized pattern rather than as separate parts.

Customer Reviews

An absolute classic.

This is one of my favorite psychology books ever. In a short book, it manages a perceptive criticism of the two major 20th century currents in psychology (behaviorism and introspectionism) together with an exposition of Gestalt psychology's alternative. A must-read.
