Hugo Munsterberg

About the Author

Hugo Münsterberg (1863-1916) was born to a Jewish family in Gdansk, Poland. He pioneered the field of applied psychology, making major contributions to the use of the science in business, labor, law, medicine, and education. He was controversial for his defense of Germany during the First World War, although he felt loyal to the United States. He taught at Harvard, and died while delivering a lecture there.
