“The purely political aspects of the subject—especially the effect of deportation proceedings—are not yet included. Perhaps the editors have been wise in limiting their attention to the purely constructive efforts. The book in its present form should prove very useful to Americanization workers.”

TANSLEY, ARTHUR GEORGE. New psychology and its relation to life. *$4 Dodd 150
(Eng ed SG20–137)
While the old psychology has over-emphasized the purely rational faculties of the mind, the new psychology recognizes the importance of its unconscious processes. The object of the book is to set forth the fundamental importance of the instinctive sources of human actions, and the part played by psychotherapy in throwing light upon normal mental processes. Part 1 describes the scope of the new psychology and the problem of the relationship of mind and body. The other divisions or the contents are: The structure of the mind; The energy of the mind; By-ways of the libido; Reasons and rationalization; The contents of the mind. There is an index.
“Mr Tansley has written a really excellent exposition and summary of the chief speculations in modern psychology.”
