Book excerpt: (From the [1915, c1914] preface) It can hardly be claimed that a new textbook of psychology is needed because there is lack of old ones. On the contrary, we have a bewildering variety, and America has contributed a large and brilliant share. Yet the plan and aim of the present book are very different from all of them. One difference is indicated even by its sub-title; it includes the applied psychology as well as the general. Hitherto the textbooks have been confined to the theoretical study. The time seems ripe for bringing the psychological work into full contact with the practical efforts of civilization. The application of psychological studies to education and law, to industry and commerce, to health and hygiene, to art and science, deserves its place in the psychological curriculum. Thus the last third of this book may be a supplement to any other textbook. But the book adds to the usual material still another essential part. The psychology of our textbooks is individual psychology; this volume also includes the social psychology. Finally, the traditional psychology is confined to descriptions and explanations. Very justly, such an explanatory account of mental life omits an entirely different aspect, its inner meaning. But this meaning of the acts of our mind offers, after all, problems of its own. They must be solved; we cannot simply ignore them. This book, therefore, traces them in a special part, called Purposive Psychology. Our causal psychology is and must be a psychology without a soul; the purposive psychology culminates in the understanding of the soul and its freedom. While the addition of an applied, a social and a purposive part makes the material of this book very different from the others, its method, too, deviates in many respects from the customary procedure. The book emphasizes the principles, both the biological-physiological and the philosophical. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved).

The psychology of our textbooks is individual psychology; this volume also includes the social psychology. The processes which result from the social contact have traditionally been neglected, because individual psychology had to reach a certain completeness before the scientific interest could turn to social consciousness. But our day, which has seen the ripening of applied psychology, has brought us also the rapid growth of social psychology, and its outlines ought to be drawn in any map of the psychological world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mind at Work: A Handbook of Applied Psychology The study of the mind cannot properly be separated from the study of the body, for the two are most intimately related. We all know that when tired and hungry the brain refuses to work. We cannot think clearly. A glass of wine and a biscuit and a short rest restores to us our mental faculties. Or to put the case the other way, good news stimulates appetite, while shock or anxiety gives a distaste for food. These are simple and obvious illustrations; but there are much more remarkable ones that we shall have to discuss later on. The greater part of our mental life is necessarily made up of impressions of the outside world that reach us by means of our senses. The eyes and ears and other receptive organs are constantly telegraphing messages to the brain along the nerve fibres. It is one of the chief functions of the mind to interpret these messages, and they eventually, in some mysterious fashion, pass into the region of our consciousness. These primary sensations of a physical origin supply the science of psychology with a convenient starting-point for its investigation, and the study of sensation forms a link between the science of the body and the science of the mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Psychology This book is designed to serve as a text for stu dents who are pursuing a first course in psychology. It aims to present in an elementary way, and within a small compass, the more easily observed facts of our mental life together with the generally accepted principles of their explanation. Its field is chiefly the study of the normal, adult, human mind, and so may be described as an introduction to what is known as General Psychology. In these days, 'the winter of our discontent, ' the writer of a first book in psychology may follow one of three courses: he may appear as 'the champion of the structural psychology' or as the advocate of a psychology in terms of behavior or he may proceed after the manner of the eclectic, without special re gard to the systematic agreement of the topics and matter selected. In the preparation of the present text, the writer followed the third course, and a word of explanation seems in place. It is clear that many of the topics that belong to an introductory survey of psychology lend them selves easily and naturally to the functional method of treatment, while certain other topics, no less im portant in a first book, invite rather a structural treatment. It is clear, moreover, that the student may get important side lights from the biological, physiological, genetic and other points of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Applied Psychology: Or Faculties of the Mind The Author ventures to suggest that no one who is thoroughly acquainted with the principles and proofs of what may be justly termed Synthetic, as distinguished from mere Analytic, Phrenology will deny that it forms the most concise and complete system of mental philo sophy and practical psychology in existence. All the actual evidence of modern experimental research, as the writer has endeavoured to point out elsewhere, tends to prove conclusively that the brain is not a single organ, brain-segment, or centre. The writer's defence and reply to adverse criticism will be found in the introduction. The system of psychology revealed by Phrenology is greatly in advance of that taught by Lock, Dugald Stewart, and others. For example, their primitive mental powers of Perception, Memory, and Judgment were, in truth, properties of several powers of the mind.

This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Applied Psychology, 1922, Vol. 6 The New Castle County survey by the United States Public Health Service confined itself entirely to the school children of the county and, as has been noted, gave a considerably larger percent of mentally defective and probably mentally defective children. In a number of the surveys reviewed, it is evident that there must have been a good deal of variation in the judgments of different investigators engaged in the same survey. Although the fact is not stated, it is evident that a number of investigators must have been engaged simultane ously in this survey as 3793 children were studied in four months. A part of the preliminary examination given con sisted of questions suited in a general way to the child's age and school grade, and a part of the secondary examination consisted of tests and exercises that could not help but vary a great deal in the case of different examiners when these tests and questions had not been previously standardized or were incapable of standardization. Even though the per centage quoted here is higher than some of the others, it is evident that it is too low when cases which have a chrono logical age of 15 and a mental age of or a chronological age of 14 and a mental age of are accepted as normal because so considered, in spite of the above evidence, and even though the fact that the Goddard Scale measures somewhat short for these ages is taken into consideration.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to General Psychology The chief motives for the writing of the present book were two. The first of these was to supply a general elementary text-book which would meet the demands of the average student beginner a little more adequately than has been done hitherto. After ten years' experience in teaching a first course in Psychology, I have become convinced that the mode of attack usually followed fails to supply the student with the sort of introduction into the science of mind that will enable him, on the one hand, to connect his Psychology with every day life, and, on the other hand, to apprehend the bearings of this science upon Philosophy, Education, Sociology and Biology. It has been my experience that so much time was consumed in the study of the nervous system, and of the experimental data of sensation and percep tion, that in a brief course no adequate considera tion could be given to mind as a whole, and to the important topics of personality and character. To introduce a student to the study of Psychology is one thing, and no doubt the detailed study of psychophysiological data, with their appropriate laboratory exercises, is a most satisfactory means to this end. But the function of Psychology in an undergraduate college course is another thing, and is not purely departmental. The average student does not go beyond the first brief course. He does, however, frequently elect further work in Philosophy and Education, Sociology and Biol ogy. In coming to these subjects he should bring with him psychological conceptions of a general sort that will be useful to him. It is the consciousness of this need which has supplied the first motive for this book. How well I may have succeeded, it is beyond me to say. Many defects will doubtless be apparent to the critical reader. I can only hope that they may not prove serious enough to invalidate the purpose which I have had in view. The question was continually pressing in the treatment of each topic: How much and how little should be said? In my endeavor to keep the book within such limits as would make it practicable to cover the ground completely in a one-term course.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The General Problems of Psychology: Conceptions A general critical inquiry is thus an introduction not to the literature of the subject but to its theory only. Specific points Of view have place within it in so far as they represent logical alternatives in reflection, but not as the contribution of individual thinkers to the history of the subject. Such a discussion is impersonal and timeless in its standpoint. It considers only the function and validity of concepts, not the occasions when they arose or the individuals who may have formulated them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Human Conduct: A Textbook in General Philosophy and Applied Psychology for Students in High Schools, Academies, Junior Colleges, and for the General Reader The second distinguishing feature of the work is the effort to emotionalize the instruction. It is not ideas alone, but ideas warmed with emotion, that get carried into action. Hence the author's chief effort was to build up strong impres sions and emotionalized 'attitudes rather than merely to give speculative knowledge. This was attempted partly through the use of such arguments and such relative emphasis as are calculated to arouse feeling, and particularly through the use of literary quotations embodied in the text Wherever it seemed that they could contribute toward building up a dynamic attitude. For this reason, too, anything that might tend to break the force of the impression was avoided. Qualifying phrases which strict scientific accuracy would sometimes require have been omitted for the sake of clearness and emphasis. In conducting this course the teacher should lead in a reaction upon the text. The typical question should not be What does the book say? But Is the author. Right? Give examples from your own experience, How does this principle apply to such and such practical situation? Etc. A number of such questions, supplementary to the text and calling for reaction upon it, is appended to each chapter. It will, of course, be obvious how intimately a work such as this bears upon the vexed problem of moral training in the high school. It undertakes to provide the student with principles for the control of conduct and, as such, constitutes moral instruction in the broadest sense. The author believes that moral instruction in the high school must take on a more systematic and intellectual form than in the grades, but a less philosophical form than in the college, and hopes that this book may be of some service in providing a basis for such instruction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook Psychology It appears, then, that the distinctive characteristic of mind is, to be conscious of its phenomena; and con sequently these phenomena are often described as phenomena of consciousness. Like the phenomena of external nature, those of our internal consciousness will commonly be found to be composite, and therefore to require analysis. In order to such an analysis, it is necessary to know the elementary materials which enter into the composition of the phenomena analysed; and accordingly the description of these materials will form the subject of the First Book of this work, which, as applying to all the phenomena of mind in general, may be appropriately styled General Psychology. The Second Book, to be distinguished as Special Psychology, will investigate the various combinations which form the special phases of our mental life.
