Abstract
THE fact which is, perhaps, most obvious to readers of psychological literature is that each School uses language which is entirely unmeaning when applied to another School; the behaviourist, the experimentalist, the psychiatrist, and the academic psychologist all appear to be talking in different languages, and Prof. Thurstone attempts both to unravel the reasons of the medley and also to construct an intelligible science out of it. His book is thus the first real attempt to bring into a composite whole the different branches of psychology and, for that reason alone, commends itself to all serious students.
