Psychology lessons

Author's name: R.S. Woodworth

The translator, while teaching psychology in Arabic, felt compelled to offer the library and his students a distinguished book in this field. He chose "Mental Life: Or Lessons in Psychology," which is now before us. Just as psychology was the science of the hour in the twentieth century, it remains so in the twenty-first. The true turning point in the history of this science came when its study deepened from the psyche to the mind. Psychology has become the science that attempts to apply scientific methods proven useful in various aspects of life to mental life and its issues. The subject of research in this science is humankind. This book is truly essential for anyone who wants to understand the principles of their individual mental life in a clear, straightforward, and scientific manner, as formulated by one of the great psychologists. This book does not neglect emotions but rather discusses them in a dynamic way, presenting us with the true difference between emotions and their causes, on the one hand, and organic states, on the other. And while attention and intelligence usually capture the curiosity of psychology readers, this book provides them with a precise and stimulating analysis that satisfies the inquisitive.
