Review of Fields of Psychology. A study of man and his environment

Abstract

Reviews the book, Fields of Psychology. A study of man and his environment by Glenn Devere Higginson (see record 1931-15015-000 ). There are two ways in which the elementary course in psychology may be viewed: first, as an introduction to specific fundamentals of the science; second, as a survey of the whole field of psychological interest. The second of these is taken in this text, and the treatment excels that of any of the few books having a similar point of view. The clear and easy style emphasizes scientific accuracy and rigidly avoids any semblance to a "popular" work. A few minor errors of this sort do not detract from the usefulness of the whole book. It is this reviewer's opinion that courses based on this text would have great popularity. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
