The Autonomic Functions and the Personality

Abstract

I am particularly indebted, in order, to the works of Darwin, Sherrington, James, Freud, Cannon, von Bechterew and Watson, and and the teachings and personal influence of my teacher in psychology. Prof. Ernest Lindley ; in physiology. Profs. W. Moenkhaus and J. Macleod ; and in psychiatry, Prof. Adolf Meyer and Dr. W. A. White. From the thoughts and works of these men, scientific data, suggestions and theories finally became associated together for me in the following conception of the dynamic nature of the personality and its place in the great cosmic system.
