[Review of the book Applied Psychology

Abstract

Reviews the book, Applied Psychology by H. L. Hollingworth and A. T. Poffenberger (1917). This work is intended to serve, on the one hand, "as a general text of applied psychology, presenting its principal aims, types, methods, its various fields of endeavor, and its outstanding results and accomplishments," and on the other hand, to fill "the need for an exposition of the subject which should be comprehensive, suggestive, and interesting without sacrifice of definiteness, accuracy and balance" In this attempt the authors have been eminently successful, and they have rendered a great and lasting service to the student, the teacher, the general reader, as well as to applied psychology itself.
