Industrial Psychology

sylvania. Only twenty years have elapsed since Miinsterberg made the first systematic formulation of the problems and scope of industrial psychology. Yet the volume under examination is at once a tribute to the validity of the problems to which Miinsterberg gave so much of his time and the progress which has been made in the scientific exploration of the problems involved in relating the science of human behavior to industry and business. A paragraph in the preface of the book describes the author's aim very concisely. "The guiding principle in the selection of material for this volume has been the desire to present a comprehensive picture of modern industrial psychology. The objective has been that of showing the genesis, the problems, the settings, the findings, and the accomplishments of the newer application of psychology." To realize this end the author has drawn extensively upon European literature in this field and has described the significant contributions which psychotechnologists in Germany, France, Italy, and England have made.
