"There are many books written on many aspects of psychology: books on general psychology, abnormal psychology, child psychology, tests, history of psychology, experimental psychology, methods and measurements in psychology. This book is designed to treat the fundamental ideas, concepts, theories and problems which are at the center of the chief divisions of the subject. Consideration of the theoretical foundations of an experimental science, as psychology is today, cannot be divorced from concrete facts or basic procedures. There is a delicate interplay of fact and theory in the best scientific work. Empiricism guided by concepts leads to fruitful theories. Worthwhile theories lead to concrete data which attest their validity and bring to light new facts. Hence the reader will find in this book on the theoretical foundations of psychology much discussion of facts, techniques, methods, and experimental data relevant to theoretical constructs. Since facts and theories must often be seen in the light of their historical antecedents to be understood and evaluated, the reader will also find numerous references to history and schools of psychology and important contributions of workers in various fields"--Preface.
