| Summary: | "It is the purpose of this short introductory text to catalyze wonder, to indicate fruitful areas of attentive study, all focused on the fundamentally important question: What is man and how did he get to be that way? This text also outlines a useful method for identifying the observable factors which determine what man does and, more importantly, for diagnosing the manipulable conditions which can be controlled to provide a therapeutic experience. The material is neither comprehensive nor all inclusive. It is, in fact, the filtered summary of at least three expanded treatises which have been developed in the course of the past six years of teaching freshman medical students. It is intended to serve as a functional critique of man in the context of the broader aspects of his total human behavior"--(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).
