Review of General Psychology for Professional Students

Abstract

Reviews the book, General Psychology for Professional Students by A. R. Gilliland, John J. B. Morgan, and S. N. Stevens (1930). This simple little textbook "has been written to fill the specific need for a special text for professional students," but to judge from the illustrative material it has no specific value for any of the fields ordinarily thought of as professional. Examples of the application of psychology in law, medicine or the Church are incidental if they exist at all. It is of somewhat greater value for education, while the bulk of the illustrative material applies to business, e.g., advertising, selling, personnel, etc. The reviewer feels that it does not adequately fill the need.
