ABOUT THIS BOOK: A textbook in psychology in which the authors have attempted to explain and integrate behavior dynamics on a phenomenological basis. The book is divided into 3 major sections. Part I, "The Personal Approach to Behavior" which explains the "personal frame of reference" and the basis of behavior as seen from the behavior's point of view; Part II, "The Personal Approach Applied," deals largely with social structure and action, educational goals and teaching, and the phenomenological aspects of diagnosis, research, and therapy; and Part III, "The Personal Approach as a Method of Science" contains the rationale of the phenomenological approach in psychology. Within this final section are discussions of such problems as "The Inadequacy of the Nervous System as Cause," "The Inadequacy of the Statistical Approach," "The Development of Spatial Awareness."(American Psychological Association).
