| dc.description.abstract | The above maxim is often attributed to psychologist Kurt Lewin. Shortly
after his death in 1947, the psychological historian E. C. Tolman wrote of
Lewin: “Freud the clinician and Lewin the experimentalist – these are the two
men whose names will stand out before all others in the history of our psychological
era” (Marrow, 1969). Although Freud has become a household
name, Lewin’s ideas and work are mostly unknown to the general public.
Among psychologists, however, Kurt Lewin is well known as one of the
founders of modern experimental social psychology and recognized for his
early contributions in applying psychological science to real human society. | en_US |
