Abstract
THE title of this work might lead one to think that it deals with a branch of psychology. In point of fact, however, it is an attempt to define a science of which psychology as we now know it would be a branch. The other branches would include physiology, sociology, and indeed all the studies with the human organism and its activities. Dr. Angyal suggests that the time has come for a radical reconstruction of this group of sciences, not one of which can deal adequately with its subject-matter so long as it remains in comparative isolation from the others.
