• Hardback book with Dust Jacket by Camilla M. Anderson, M.D.
• Copyright 1950 by J.B. Lippincott Company

• " In this highly readable presentation of the dynamics of human behavior, Dr. Anderson discusses the relationships of those factors in personality which are significant in behavior and therapy.
  The theory presented by the author is an attempt to clarify the basic motivations which dominate human activity and to relate the overt manifestations of personality to the basic subconscious drives. "

• " Just as the study of man's physical nature consists of analysis of structures and their functions, so, Dr. Anderson belives, does the study of the psyche necessitate analysis of its component structures and functions.
  Such an analysis has proven fruitful during the author's experience as a practicing psychiatrist. "

• " This is a stimulating theory, presented in a lively manner- a theory which in many ways is unique in modern psychiatric thought.
  Both concepts and terminology have been simplified in an effort to make the psychiatrist's viewpoint more understandable to all those called upon to deal professionally with behaviour problems. "
