"In writing this book I have tried to bear in mind that it should be intellectually exciting for the beginning student. I have avoided making a handbook of facts, a dictionary of psychological terms, an American Psychological Association directory, or a picture magazine. My purpose is to stimulate a discussion of ideas about man and the kinds of operations psychologists perform in trying to verify their ideas about man. I want the beginning student to feel as I do: that psychology is a serious and significant branch of knowledge; that it has a great many important things to say about man; and that what it deals with touches his life at every moment of his existence. I have tried to say much about a representative group of subjects rather than say something, however little, about a wide variety of topics. This has been done in the hope that a broader discussion of fewer things will result in better understanding. Only in rare instances do I present findings obtained from animal research. The beginning student resents the psychologist's preoccupation with maze-running rats and drooling dogs. He fails to see the relevance between the behavior of a rat learning a maze and his own behavior in solving a problem. I think it is better to by-pass the student's resistance and use the findings of experiments with human beings. Finally, I would like to point out that this book does not deviate from the traditional subject areas of beginning psychology. It deals with basic psychological processes and the determiners of behavior"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved).

The purpose of this primer is to present clearly, briefly, and systematically the psychological theories advanced by Sigmund Freud. Freud's contributions in the areas of abnormal psychology, psychopathology, psychotherapy, and psychiatry have been summarized by a number of writers, but his work as a psychological theorist in the area of general psychology has not been presented in a systematic and comprehensive form. The author contends that Freud's distinctive role in intellectual and scientific history is that of a psychological theorist. Freud himself regarded psychoanalysis primarily as a system of psychology and not merely a branch of abnormal psychology or psychiatry. He wanted to be remembered and identified chiefly as a psychologist. The author's purpose, then, in summarizing the psychology of Sigmund Freud is to rescue him from the domain of mental disorders and to restore him to his legitimate place within the province of normal psychology. It is argued that if Freud is permitted to remain an exclusive possession of a branch of medicine, not only will his fundamental theories be relegated to a subordinate position, but also psychology will be the loser for having ignored one of its most creative minds.
