Summary:

"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"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved).
