Review of Elements of human psychology

Abstract

Reviews the book, Elements of human psychology by Howard C. Warren and Leonard Carmichael (1930). This is a revised edition of Warren's (1922) Elements of Human Psychology . The purpose of the authors, as stated in the preface, has been "to prepare a statement, as inclusive as possible, of the more generally known and accepted facts and hypotheses of modern experimental psychology." In doing this the reviewer believes they have succeeded admirably. The book is primarily concerned with the general facts and laws of the human adult mental life. The manner of developing the picture of mental life in the body of the book, the valuable appendices, the index-dictionary and the hundred-odd drawings integrate in a manner to make this text admirably adapted to the needs of the elementary student and his instructor.
