Professor Tolman's book, "Purposive Behavior in Animals and Men," reflects the current state of psychology, offering insights into the field's future direction between behaviorism and structuralism. Tolman suggests psychology is one, with structuralism being overly structural and behaviorism in its early stages. He proposes a "purposive behaviorism" emphasizing purpose and cognition, which he believes can be objectively studied without relying on subjective experiences. Tolman views behavior as a "molar" phenomenon with emergent properties that cannot be inferred from molecular facts. He argues that purpose and cognition are essential to understanding behavior, and that animals, even simple ones like paramecia, can exhibit these traits. The book also discusses the social implications of mental deficiency, advocating for better treatment and support for the mentally disabled. Dr. Cattell's work, "Mental Deficiency," is a comprehensive guide to mental deficiency, revised and expanded, covering causes, diagnosis, and social implications. It emphasizes the importance of understanding mental deficiency from an eugenic perspective. The book also discusses the role of psychology in society, the importance of mental health, and the need for social reforms. The review highlights the significance of Tolman's work in the field of psychology, noting its contribution to the understanding of behavior and cognition. The book is praised for its objective approach and its potential to influence future research and theory. The review also mentions the importance of mental health and the need for social reforms to address mental deficiency. The book is a call to action for psychologists to address the challenges facing society. The review concludes by emphasizing the importance of mental health and the need for social reforms to address mental deficiency. The book is a significant contribution to the field of psychology, offering new insights into the nature of behavior and cognition.
