Summary:

This book presents the main facts and theories of normal and abnormal psychology and attempts to relate them to the actual and assumed functions of the nervous system. It sets forth at the same time a system of psychology. The standpoint is similar to that defined by Warren in his Human Psychology. It is based upon the double-aspect theory of mind-body relation, and thus recognizes both introspective and behavioristic methods. Psychology treats of both consciousness and behavior. The problem of the relationship of these two aspects of experience is squarely faced from the beginning; and it is held that a philosophical foundation is essential for psychology, as indeed it is for all sciences. -- Preface.
