Abstract
WE consider these two books together, because, although they are scarcely comparable in any other sense, they both take up a definite attitude as to scientific method. Prof. Eaton, the translator of the first book, points out that the official psychology, craving for the methods of the exact sciences, and concentrating on what can be measured, has forgotten its original subject, which is human nature. This is one reason why the unofficial psychology of Freud and Jung and Adler has swept over Europe and America. Dr. Kranefeldt's monograph, with an introduction by Jung himself, may be recommended as an excellent critical survey of this movement.
