This recent text in general psychology stands between the traditional treatments of the early twentieth century and the innovations of more recent years. The order of topics from motivation to perception is modern, as is the chief emphasis on topics which have been shown to have student interest. Most of the old topics however appear in the interest of comprehensiveness. Furthermore undue space is given to a not very modern treatment of neurology. Although the general position is broadly eclectic, there is some bias toward the works of British psychologists like McDougall and Spearman. Psychoanalysis gets a more accurate presentation and a more sympathetic criticism than is customary in books of this nature.
