Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Textbook of Abnormal Psychology Without reflecting any discredit on the pioneer treatises on this topic, it can fairly be said that the present volume marks the beginning of an epoch. In fact, I am strongly inclined to believe that the volume signalizes the beginning of the scientific era in abnormal psychology. The authors, it would appear, have produced a work which is in line with the foundations laid by Pierre Janet, and infused with the spirit of the great French pathologist. While the work of Janet has necessarily been restricted to the clinical aspects, the present authors have coordinated therewith the contributions of general and experimental psychology; thus producing a structure worthy of its foundation. I am impressed, in the first place, with the vast amount of materials collected in this volume. No other book has attempted such a task. Obviously, this is a sharp departure from the conventional type of psychology text, in which "easy steps for little feet" has become more and more the rule. In conjunction with the literature-references, which are of extraordinary definiteness, the book furnishes a starting point from which the really industrious student may branch out into any subtopic in this complicated field. In the second place, I am impressed with the critical balance of the book. Giving the various isms and theories their places, the authors avoid imposing on the reader either isms or emotional anti-isms (which is more than I can say for my own writings). Without being subjected to the stress of violent iconoclasm, the reader is prepared for immunity to both pseudo-psychological novelties and ancient superstitions. There are various points of interpretation, of course, on which I should take issue with the authors; and on some of these points I should possibly be right. These features of the presentation, however, increase my appreciation of, and respect for, the whole. The authors, and the psychological profession are to be congratulated on this magnum opus, which demonstrates, among other things, that scientifically minded psychiatrists and psychologists can work together in harmony and fruitfulness: for, it should be said, this book has a history which is not superficially obvious; and in that history, Dr. Chapman has played a part of no small importance.

The cases are used to illustrate and objectify assigned chapters in a standard textbook of abnormal psychology.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dissociation of a Personality: A Biographical Study in Abnormal Psychology The present volume contains Parts I and II of a larger - work, "Problems in Abnormal Psychology," but it is complete in itself. It is a study of disintegrated personality, as exemplified by the very remarkable case of Miss Beauchamp. In this study I have (a) traced the development of the different personalities which originated through the disintegration of the normal self, and (b) shown their psychological relations to one another and to the normal self. By giving (c) a detailed account of the daily life of the personalities, after the manner of a biography, I have sought to show their behavior to the environment and the way in which a disintegrated personality can adapt itself to the circumstances of life, and how it fails to do so. Selections from recorded observations, many times in number those here given, have been made use of with the view of familiarizing the reader with the main phenomena, so that when we come to consider in another volume the psychological problems involved, we shall have a knowledge of the fundamental data. These phenomena have been briefly discussed in this volume as an introduction to a deeper study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Vol. 7: April-May, 1912 The subject dreamed that he was in a darle cave full of water; it had two openings, side by side. Opposite to him was a puppy whining to come out. Coming behind the puppy were two cats. He set out to rescue the puppy, which during the procedure seemed to fuse into his personality. He was in great danger of drowning, but clung to some bushes which were at the side of the cave, and at last safely emerged. Standing outside was his father, who was quite unconcerned. He wondered that his father had not helped him, and supposed it was because he had not realized the extent of the danger. He impressed on his father the danger he had come through, and boastfully told him that he had saved himself without any help.

Download or read book The Foundations of Normal and Abnormal Psychology Classic Reprint written by Boris Sidis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of Normal and Abnormal Psychology In this volume I made an attempt to formulate the fundamental assumptions and main principles that un derlie normal and abnormal psychology. Every science, mathematical, physical or biological, has its postulates as the foundation of its structure. Psychology as a science has also its own assumptions which have to be clearly formulated. The object of the first part of this volume is the unravelling of the principal concepts and hypotheses which form the basis of the study of men tal phenomena. All through the domain of the sciences there is a vast movement for the search of fundamental concepts and for the close investigation of such concepts. Even such an exact science as mathematics has felt this spirit of examination of its fundamental assumptions, axioms, and postulates. Men like Lobatchevsky, Bolyai, Rie man and others have given the start and a number of mathematicians have recently followed in their foot steps, with the result of getting a wider horizon and of opening unknown regions. The same we find in the case of physical sciences, such as physics, mechanics and chemistry. Mach, Poincare, Ostwald, Pearson and others have contributed to this spirit of investigation in the domain of physical sciences. This spirit of inquiry has become of late specially intensified by the revolu tionary discoveries of radio-active bodies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Abnormal Psychology, Vol. 1 Since 1t has been recognized, in the last few years, that, in addition to hysteria, psychasthenia also may occasion epileptiform seizures, the differential diagnosis has become even more difficult. It cannot too strongly be emphasized that the diagnosis epilepsy is justifiable only when all other diseases which are capable of inducing epileptiform attacks, particularly hysteria and psychasthenia, either positively can be excluded or recognized as associated conditions. For it is quite common to encounter patients in whom hysteria or psychasthenia have been superimposed upon an epileptic foundation, just as multiple sclerosis usually is complicated by hysteria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Vol. 3: April-May, 1908 Rom the very earliest times man wondered about sleep and attempted some explanation of it. It was supposed that in sleep the soul wanders away from the body and leaves it in a lifeless condition. Many of the savage tribes are on that account afraid to waken people lest the soul may be frightened away and not return at all to the body. That is why even at present we often hear the saying that sleep is the companion of death. On the other hand death is Often described as sleep. On the same basis dreams were explained by the primitive mind, the soul in sleep leaves the body and wanders away; on its wanderings the soul meets with all kinds of adventures and it is such experience that gives rise to dreams. In sleep the wandering soul, not encumbered by the gross body, can visit great distances in a short time and can even communicate with heavenly powers, with angels and gods.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1906-1907, Vol. 1 Explanations of this kind are certainly true in some cases, but it does not seem to me possible to generalize, and I think that there are a number of other explanations which must play an important part in any particular case. That is why I Should like to point out here, in connection with some interesting cases of impulsions, a disposition of the mind, quite general among the obsessed and impulsive, which plays, I think, a pretty important part in at least a certain number of cases. The observations being rather curious in themselves, we Shall give a brief resume of them, then we Shall look for those feelings which are pretty nearly the same in spite of the diversity of the impulsions, and we Shall see the part such feelings play in the genesis of the impulsions.
