Towards a Measure of Man

First Published in 1998. This is Volume XVIII, the final of eighteen in the Sociology of Behaviour and Psychology series. Initially written in 1957, this book deals centrally with the concepts of 'normal' and 'abnormal' in human personality and behaviour. It seeks to establish whether one or the other of these can be defiled and thereby an absolute measure of man educed.
