This book answers the questions that confront students toward the end of the first course in general psychology - questions regarding the history of psychology, psychological schools and fields, measurement and experiment, personal efficiency, and the applications of psychology in medicine, law, and advertising. It supplements, without duplication, any good general text. The material is compact enough to be covered in the last few weeks of a one-semester course. Also, an interesting short course can be built around the book if it is used with the recommended readings at the end of every chapter. To students who will specialize in psychology, this text offers the advantage of an early orientation to the whole field. To the non-specialist it supplies a broad introduction, free from popular misconceptions and inaccuracies, to a subject with which every educated person must be familiar. And for students who are undecided whether to elect further psychology courses, the book provides a sound basis for choice, suggesting which courses are likely to be most interesting and most profitable.
