ABSTRACT

In the following the attempt will be made to consider some aspects of contemporary German psychology in more detail. Examining the different fields of research and the different methods used, the attempt at mere enumeration of these aspects with regard to research material and method may not present serious difficulties. Difficulties of this kind, however, arise at once if the historian wishes to sketch the dominant features in modern Germany psychology. The determination of the dominant trends is more than a mere recording of such trends; it is an historical interpretation of these trends.
