ABSTRACT
The rapid expansion of 'eclectic' psychology described in this review has in fact continued without remission during the subsequent ten years and threatens to provide the basis for a 'unified' psychology, which may blanket research for a considerable time ahead. The other and more important factors were the discovery by Freud of the unconscious mind and the development of psycho-analysis which owes its existence to that discovery. This misconception was strengthened when, not long before the present war, 'psychiatry' awoke from its non-psychological slumbers in mental hospitals to find that it had been invested with psycho- logical attributes overnight. The psycho-analysis of Freud is not simply a psycho-therapeutic process; it lays down certain fundamental conceptions which are and will remain the test of all future progress in mental science. Apart from this it has to be borne in mind that Jung and Adler, although the best known, were not the only dissidents from Freudian psychology.
