Here Hans Eysenck applies the principles of modern learning theory
to account for the observed phenomena of hysteria and anxiety. Such
principles were initially developed through the experiments and
theories of Pavlov, Hull, and Tolman. When "The Dynamics of Anxiety
and Hysteria" initially appeared, these were considered the most
advanced, relevant, and applicable to the subject matter. They have
not been superseded by later work.
"The Dynamics of Anxiety and Hysteria" has never been published in
the United States. It was the fifth book Eysenck authored as part
of a series of experimental studies and theoretical work carried
out under the auspices of the Institute of Psychiatry at the
University of London. Two of the first four books-"Dimensions of
Personality" and "The Psychology of Politics," have been reissued
with new introductions. These focus on dimensional analysis of
personality based on experimental and empirical studies.
The present work, on the other hand, goes beyond classification to
a study of dynamics; from nosology to aetiology; from description
to causation. Eysenck scientifically explores such topics as
learning theory and human behavior, personality and learning
theory; personality and perceptual processes, socialization and
personality, drugs and personality, and psychological theory and
psychiatric practice.
This volume, which complements Transaction's other new editions of
Eysenck's groundbreaking work, will be of lasting significance to
psychologists, psychiatrists, behavioralists, and students of
personality disorders. He provided for modern psychology the
empirical foundations of themes that previosly were the monopoly of
psychoanalysis.
Hans J. Eysenck (1916-1997), a professor of psychology at the
University of London and the director of its psychological
department at the Institute of Psychiatry, was best known for his
experimental researches in the field of personality. He was a
prolific author and wrote, among others, "Rebel with a Cause,
Dimensions of Personality," and "Intelligence," all available from
Transaction.
