RAPHAEL AND McLEISH'S RECOMMENDATIONS IN PSYCHOLOGY

In 1981 Frederic Raphael and Kenneth McLeish published The List of Books. "The intention of this book is to furnish an imaginary library of some three thousand volumes in which a reasonably literate person can hope to find both instruction and inspiration, art and amusement." The authors asked their collaborators to make lists in the categories in which they were expert. The lists were then circulated among additional readers for comments and the final selection was made by the authors. Technical books accessible only to specialists were excluded. The books were listed in 44 categories. The following list contains the authors' recommendations in psychology. The 28 titles range from 1621-1978.
