The puzzle of personality [Elektronisk resurs] / William J. Fielding.

• "The study of personality leads us into the most fascinating of all the realms of intellectual exploration. With every step we take, when we have once learned to interpret, the fundamental laws of human behavior, new wonders are constantly disclosed to us. By applying the special knowledge that is now readily available, we may observe the inner motives that, until comparatively recent years, had remained hidden from the understanding of man. It Is the purpose of this work to present the basic facts of the autonomic organism, and to interpret the laws that govern the more stereotyped actions of men and women. This involves a summary of mankind's long biological heritage. Any adequate study of personality would be impossible without taking into consideration the PAST--not the historical past of mankind, but that vast, immeasurable past during which our ineradicable instincts and automatic processes were formed and developed"--Introduction.
