The selections to be found in this volume have been chosen for their usefulness as so many sections of a textbook for students. Of the material so included, it may be said that, on the whole, acquaintance with elementary psychology is presupposed. The especial emphasis in this book is upon "functional" phenomena--processes which may be regarded as the core of abnormal psychology, as well as most illuminating for students of general psychology, of medicine, of sociology, and of education. The language employed here is taken for the most part to express the stimulus-response point of view. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

This book brings together many of the most important contributions to dynamic and abnormal psychology and organizes them within a framework of concepts of general psychology, developing the concepts according to the data. The book is designed as a text for courses in abnormal psychology; as a supplementary and reference work for courses in personality, educational psychology, social psychology, and related fields, and for advanced workers; and as a survey for independent readers. Technical terms, many of which are used variously in the literature, I try to define according to the best usage; and I introduce new terms and definitions only where they seem needed. Many of the technical terms and their meanings are brought together for comparison in the Introduction to Terms which precedes the Index and Glossary; and practically all the terms are included in the Index and Glossary. Further materials, clinical, experimental, semantic, and theoretical, are suggested through the footnotes, the Further References at the ends of chapters, and the publications cited.
