Experiments in Social Process: Edited by James Grier Miller. New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1950. 205 pp.

The scope of this book is correctly identified by the subtitle which refers to it as a Symposium on Social Psychology. Eight social psychologists, from various parts of the country, gathered at the University of Chicago in November 1947 where they reported and discussed the most recent work in the field of social psychology. Dr. Miller, the editor, felt that from time to time such accounting is necessary because at present we have approximately twelve thousand journals in the field, and in this country there are approximately twenty-eight thousand social scientists. Without claiming to be comprehensive, this book points out the most important aspects of recent developments in social psychology.
