Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Reviews the book, Sensory Deprivation: A Symposium Held at Harvard Medical School by Philip Solomon, Philip E. Kubzansky, P. Herbert Leiderman, Jack H. Mendelson, Richard Trumbull, and Donald Wexler (Eds.) (see record 1961-35085-000). Authors' diversity of interest is great, ranging from neurophysiology through the psychology of perception and thinking to psychoanalysis. Inevitably this has meant that the book is uneven and inconclusive. One of the merits of this book is that its authors would accept what has just been said. Mostly they are concerned to present data, recognizing their material to be qualitative and provisional. Where they theorize they do so to a large extent in quite general terms, and base such hypotheses as they feel to be promising upon other evidence. This book will suggest other experiments to other readers, but it will suggest some to them all. Therein lies its chief value. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
