Portrait of the artist as a young man.

As a psychology major barely out of my teens, I encountered and studied with three of the greatest scholars of the 20th Century (please see below).

After receiving my PhD, I was promoted to Assistant Professor in Behavioral Science. However, after Brown, Fiedler and Berger—I was no longer suitable for an academic psychology position. I resigned—and several years later founded Library of Social Science.

In organizing the WPA book exhibit, I'm returning to my roots.
Norman O. Brown

Life Against Death: The Psychoanalytical Meaning of History
Peter Berger

The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge
Leslie Fiedler

Love and Death in the American Novel

Dear Colleague,

I've gone through the 2016 Western Psychological Association program (193 pages) and have selected the most intriguing, provocative presentations (please see list below).

They provide a window on the current state of psychology.

Library of Social Science will have nine tables for our display—in the classic Library of Social Science style. We can accommodate a limited number of publishers who would like us to represent your press and its books with a full-table display. Please contact me now at rak@libraryofsocialscience.com for information on how we can make this happen—at a reasonable fee. We’d love to represent your press at this important meeting.

I encourage publishers—and as scholars in every academic discipline—to browse the list of sessions below.

You will be fascinated at what you discover about the issues that are on the minds of today's college students.

Best regards,
Richard. A Koenigsberg, PhD
Director, Library of Social Science
