Abstract
THE author in his preface apologises for his difficulty in presenting Gestalt psychology in a foreign language; one may say at the outset that his English is much better than that of many writers to whom it is the mother-tongue. The author also points out that the subject matter as presented resembles a promising start rather than a complete achievement. It is a pity that this useful point of view is not maintained as the tone of the actual exposition, for that appears to be rather unnecessarily controversial and dogmatic.
