"William James is a towering figure in the history of American
thought--without doubt the foremost psychologist this country has
produced. His depiction of mental life is faithful, vital, and
subtle. In verve, he has no equal. . . . "There is a sharp contrast
between the expanding horizon of James and the constricting horizon
of much contemporary psychology. The one opens doors to discovery,
the other closes them. Much psychology today is written in terms of
"reaction," little in terms of "becoming." James would say that a
balance is needed, but that only by assuming that man has the
capacity for growth are we likely to discover the scope of this
same capacity." --"from the introduction by Gordon W. Allport"
