ABSTRACT
Before leaving the problem of psychology of elation, it might be well to speak of the bearing of our theories on normal happiness. It may be recalled that the discussion of manic states was initiated with some remarks on normal exhilaration, so it is not out of place to conclude by reciprocal application of the principles gained in the study of frankly psychotic condition to those of everyday life. This subject will be discussed more fully in a later chapter, when the relation of dreams to the mood of the following day is considered. Now, however, we may take up those slight elations which would not be regarded as partaking of the psychotic were it not for their occurrence in individuals who are prone to develop definite manic attacks.
