Abstract
BRITISH and American workers in psychology owe a debt of gratitude to the translators and publishers of this book for making accessible to them the life-work of the late Prof. Bechterev. Although somewhat overshadowed by the greater international reputation of Prof. Pavlov, Bechterev is an important and influential figure. He taught the essentials of behaviourist doctrine before the American school of behaviourists was born, and yet avoided some of the more indefensible exaggerations of J. B. Watson and his followers.
