| Summary: | "The popular conception of the province of psychology is largely erroneous. People say that psychology is an interesting subject, but the problems upon which professional psychologists spend most of their time, interest practically no one else. To the "man in the street," psychology stands for hypnotism, spirit phenomena, and how to make a sale. He does not realize that psychology deals with all of the most essential principles of his own nature and also with the "street" and the whole world in so far as he is directly cognizant of these things. The present book attempts to outline the problem of Psychology in such a way as to reveal the tremendous scope of its field. Psychology is a unique science in that it has an application to practically every human problem. Whether we are thinking, feeling, seeing or acting, psychology finds facts to study and baffling problems to solve. The mystery of mind looms up at every point in human life"--Book.
