Instinctive motives of behaviour

Being vaguely dissatisfied with McDougall's "Sociol Psychology'', finding nothing to replace it and seeing it so widely used in eductional works, I set out to outline psychology for myself. This forms the first part of the thesis. The second pert is a more detailed study of one of the instinctive patterns - that of Laughter but any of the other instinctive patterns could be treated in a similar amplified manner. The outline is scrappy in parts owing to the feet that I was teaching in the back locks of New Zealand end it was only during the term holidays that I could make use of a reference library.
