I am not familiar with "The Story of Philosophy" so I am not sure what is most similar, but my undergraduate history of psych textbook was "A Brief History of Modern Psychology" by Ludy T. Benjamin Jr. (lastest edition here-- https://www.amazon.com/Brief-History-Modern-Psychology/dp/1118206770/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=a+brief+history+of+psychology&qid=1556658138&s=gateway&sr=8-2 ) and my graduate level history of psych textbook was "A History of Modern Psychology in Context" by Wade Pickren and Alexandra Rutherford (here-- https://www.amazon.com/History-Modern-Psychology-Context/dp/0470276096/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=pickren+psychology&qid=1556658105&s=gateway&sr=8-3 ; FWIW you may be able to track down a free pdf.) The former is very much a broad overview and the latter is much more in depth.
This book gives a good historical and theoretical overview of Psychology (all its various subfields) both within North America and the rest of the world.
