The present book effectively bridges the gap between the fields of psychology and psychiatry, which deal with normal and abnormal human behavior. As the title of the book implies, this is a presentation of the neuroses and psychoses from a consistently biosocial point of view. It follows a prediction made five years ago that psychopathology--or behavior pathology as the author proposes to call it--will shift progressively in emphasis, from speculations about a psyche in a somatic container, to the study of the operations of human organisms in a social field. The author deals with the problems of various behavior disorders in the manner of a modern objectively trained scientist. In the pages of this book the reader will find no trace of hypotheses which banish thinking, imagination, dreams, and motives from the naturalistic and scientific world in order to locate them in a vague cloudland of a so-called conscious or unconscious psyche.

The present book grew out of a recognition of the need for a consistent and comprehensive view of fatigue. The concept of fatigue that we have developed arose from a broad, theoretical view of the organism, which might be termed "over-all" or "holistic." The course of our thinking necessarily led us to formulations that still await experimental corroboration. It is our hope that the systematic presentation we have made will both inspire and direct empirical investigation. It is our belief that further knowledge about fatigue, which is so clearly required in every field of endeavor, calls for research that stems from a point of view such as we have attempted to formulate, rather than from any of those that place the fatigue experience in a vague and undecided category.

"The primary purpose of this book is to give nurses the understanding of themselves and of their patients that is essential to a mastery of the art of nursing. To achieve this understanding, they must study human growth and development from infancy, through childhood and adolescence, to maturity. In this way, they gain insight into their own problems of adjustment as well as into those of their patients. In addition to its use as a text for courses in Psychology and in Professional Adjustments, "A Psychology of Growth" will prove invaluable to the graduate nurse working in the field of pediatrics, psychiatry, or public health. It will also be of special interest to social workers, teachers, and parents"--Jacket. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).
