Psychology and Social SanityDoubleday, Page & Company, 1914 - 318 էջ "This book speaks of psychology's possible service to social sanity. The field which I have approached this time demanded a different kind of treatment from that in the earlier books. There I had aimed at a certain systematic completeness. When we come to the social questions, such a method would be misleading, as any systematic study of these psychological factors is still a hope for the future. Many parts of the field have never yet been touched by the plow of the psychologist. The only method which seems possible to-day is to select a few characteristic topics of social discussion and to outline for each of them in what sense a psychologist might contribute to the solution or might at least further the analysis of the problem. The aim is to show that our social difficulties are ultimately dependent upon mental conditions which ought to be cleared up with the methods of modern psychology. I selected as illustrations those social questions which seemed to me most significant for our period"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved). |
