Summary:

To see our contemporary psychology in perspective becomes each year more difficult. It is the purpose of this volume to trace the course of those changes in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries which have thus tended to transform psychology and to give it its present character. My intention is to present in rough chronological order the conquest by scientific method of one research field after another. In accordance with this line of attack it is quite impossible to afford any just treatment to the philosophical forms of psychology, or to the problems of epistemology and theory of value. Much significant work ordinarily regarded as psychological must quite arbitrarily be excluded, if any sort of unified purpose is to be achieved.
