The present paper is an attempt to formulate a positive theory of
motivation which will satisfy these theoretical demands and at the
same time conform to the known facts, clinical and observational as
well as experimental. It derives most directly, however, from
clinical experience. This theory is, I think, in the functionalist
tradition of James and Dewey, and is fused with the holism of
Wertheimer, Goldstein, and Gestalt Psychology, and with the
dynamicism of Freud and Adler. This fusion or synthesis may
arbitrarily be called a 'general-dynamic' theory. It is far easier
to perceive and to criticize the aspects in motivation theory than
to remedy them. Mostly this is because of the very serious lack of
sound data in this area. I conceive this lack of sound facts to be
due primarily to the absence of a valid theory of motivation. The
present theory then must be considered to be a suggested program or
framework for future research and must stand or fall, not so much
on facts available or evidence presented, as upon researches to be
done, researches suggested perhaps, by the questions raised in this
paper.
