A Theory of Human Motivation

This book is an attempt to formulate a positive theory of motivation that will satisfy these theoretical demands and at the same time conform to the known facts clinical and observational and experimental. It derives most directly however from clinical experience. This theory is I think in the functionalist tradition of James and Dewey. It is fused with the holism of Wertheimer Goldstein and Gestalt Psychology and with the dynamics of Freud and Adler.
