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not been superseded by later work.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.
