Encyclopedia of Psychology

Abstract

The 900 pages of this book bear testimony to the tremendous accretion of knowledge in this social science. More than 80 eminent psychiatrists, psychologists, psychoanalysts and educators contributed to it, and the mass of the material is well nigh sufficient in its scope to deter the average physician from even beginning to read it. If, however, he can accumulate the time and the courage he will find here much that will be exceedingly useful to him in the problems of his practice. He will wish, however, to read selectively in the special fields related to his medical practice. A mere glance at the headings, such as "Climate and Human Behavior," "Feeblemindedness," "Hypnoanalysis" and "Lobotomy," give an indication of the scope of the book. Each of the sections, which are arranged alphabetically, is supplemented with an extensive bibliography.
