Review of Social Psychology

Abstract

Reviews the book, Social Psychology by Joseph K. Folsom (see record 1931-02408-000 ). The point of view of a book on social psychology is usually determined largely by the author's primary interest J. M. Williams' "Principles of social psychology" is evidently the work of a sociologist, while Allport's "Social psychology" is obviously the writing of a psychologist. The present author, who is a sociologist, has made a rather successful attempt to keep a middle course. To the reviewer the most important chapter is that called "Social Psychiatry" in which the practical utility of social psychology is considered.
