“The Handbook of Industrial Psychology” is a book that should prove useful to both the worker and the executive. It is a survey of the problems which may arise in industry, and a practical outline of techniques which could alleviate these problems. The book is not a detailed, psychological chronicle and may easily be read by the layman.

The first chapters of the Handbook are concerned with external factors in the worker's environment and how dissatisfaction as well as accidents may result from poorly constructed working conditions. There is a section on vocational guidance for the individual, and also a chapter on time and motion studies. The last portion of the book deals with the worker himself, including comments on the temperaments found in industry, with emphasis on the personality traits of the nervous person. The book ends with a discussion of measures of human well-being and some general hints on methods of investigating industrial problems.
