Old And New Viewpoints In Psychology. By Knight Dunlap.  The C. V. Mosby Company,. Publishers, St. Louis, 1925 Pp.  166. Price $1.50.

This book consists of a series of five chapters, reproductions of as many lectures which were given on different occasions and which are essentially popular in their method of presentation. The author has very much of interest to say from this point of view, especially about mental

measurements. His chapter on present—day schools of psychology would be informing to the audience for which it was intended. In his last chapter on the reading of character from external signs the author fails to take any note of some of the more serious recent attempts to correlate bodily and mental make—up, particularly the attempt of Kretschmer in Germany and Lewis in this country. As is rather usual with this author he harangues against psychoanalysis in a way which it would seem would hardly be convincing. So much affect appears in his criticisms that one feels that even if there were something in psychoanalysis that intellectually he might be willing to accept, that he is so emotionally oriented toward it that he would not see it, and yet on the other hand, here, as in his other writings, he not infrequently slips into acceptances of well established psychoanalytic tenets. His style in some places is somewhat more suited to the platform than to the printed volume.
