| Based on the Terry Lectures delivered at Yale University. - This volume is based on the Terry lectures given by the author at Yale University in March, 1954. With a basic conviction that personality is too complex "to be trussed up in a conceptual straight jacket" this essay argues for "conceptual openmindedness and for a reasoned electicism." Questions are raised concerning the adequacy of an S-R theoretical basis for personality study. The human shows appropriate strivings which are not reducible to even complex S-R relations. Self energizing properties of human personality are of basic importance, but homuncular reification is explicitly disavowed.
