About this book
The Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Volume 10 presents groundbreaking research from early twentieth-century psychology's most influential minds, edited by Morton Prince at Tufts College Medical School. This landmark 1915-1916 collection assembles pioneering articles that shaped modern psychological science, featuring contributions from luminaries like G. Stanley Hall, James J. Putnam, and leading figures from Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Oxford University.
The volume explores critical topics in abnormal psychology and psychoanalysis, including hysteria in marital dynamics, dream analysis as a diagnostic tool, Freudian mechanisms, and psychoneuroses across cultures. Articles examine anger as a primary emotion, constructive delusions, stammering as psychological illness, and the intersection of classical philosophy and modern psychopathology. These scholarly investigations represent the era when psychoanalytic theory was revolutionizing mental health understanding and establishing frameworks still referenced today.
With contributions from internationally recognized psychologists and physicians, this collection documents the intellectual ferment of early clinical psychology. The research methods, case studies, and theoretical discussions reveal how pioneers approached the study of human behavior and emotional disorders before modern diagnostic systems existed. This audiobook is ideal for psychology students, historians of medicine, academics interested in the foundations of psychoanalytic thought, and anyone seeking to understand how contemporary mental health concepts developed. It offers invaluable perspective on psychology's formative era.
