Abstract
PROF. MCDOUGALL says in his preface that he has “returned to the always interesting, but generally quite futile, task of criticizing the teachings of Professor Sigmund Freud and his school. … I have realized too late that I might have done much more for my chosen science, had I from the first spoken with a less modest voice. It seems to me probable that, had I at the outset put forward my views in a more self-assertive and clamant fashion, I might have been acknowledged as the leader of a powerful and perhaps dominant school of psychology; instead of remaining a well-nigh solitary outsider playing a lone hand”.
