Review of Lehrbuch der experimentellen psychologie

Abstract

Reviews the book, Lehrbuch der experimentellen psychologie by J. Frobes (1920). These two volumes constitute a remarkably complete compilation of psychological investigations culled from a wide and varied domain and done with a thoroughness typically Teutonic. The author's purpose was to bring together the material of experimental psychology as it exists to-day in a manner at once comprehensible for introductory work and suitable as a point of departure for advanced specialization, somewhat after the fashion of Tigerstedt's Lehrbuch der Physiologie . A glance at the wealth of matter in the book shows that the author has been far more inclusive than the title might indicate, for branches of psychology other than experimental are treated at considerable length. According to the reviewer, this work of Frobes' is unquestionably the most useful source of reference for general psychology which has appeared to date.
