| Summary: | "Psychology has been recognized as a vocation under the civil service regulations, and applied psychologists are finding themselves called to work in factories, schools, courts, hospitals, agencies, banks, employment departments, and various branches of municipal and civic enterprise. With this record of substantial achievement in applied psychology, it seems only appropriate that there should be also available a general text book devoted to the subject. The authors of the present book have both been engaged for several years in teaching, research and consultation in this field, and have long felt, in their own work, the need for an exposition of the subject, which should be comprehensive, suggestive and interesting without sacrifice of definiteness, accuracy and balance. This need has prompted them to prepare the present book, which it is hoped may be useful at the same time to the student, the teacher and the general reader. The present book will have accomplished its aim if it assists in systematizing a field hitherto vague and unorganized, and helps to demonstrate that applied psychology is a dignified, productive and vigorous activity, as well as a fervent hope and a confident prophecy"--Preface.
