Review of An introduction to social psychology

Abstract

Reviews the book, An introduction to social psychology by L. L. Bernard (1926). This is a very scholarly piece of work by one who has thoroughly familiarized himself with late developments in, not only psychology and sociology, but in neurology, biology and allied subjects as well. The book, therefore, represents a much more scientific and well balanced treatment than is usually found in one of similar title. From the point of view that "In a sense social psychology is central to all psychological and social science disciplines"--a view to which not all will agree--the author attempts to give a full and complete account of the foundations of collective behavior, the integration of personality in the psychosocial environment, the psycho-social environment and the organization of collective behavior.
