Ach's second book. He was a key figure in the Würzburg school of imageless thought (see Boring 1950, pp. 404-6).
Ach's first book.
A key text from the Würzburg school of imageless thought. Ach here introduced the term 'systematic experimental introspection' and formulated the concepts of 'determining tendency' and 'Bewusstheit' (awareness). Boring 1950 pp. 404-6; Murphy 1932 p. 239.
Translated as Understanding Human Nature and reprinted dozens of times, this has surely been Adler's most read book. For an illuminating discussion see Ellenberger's Discovery of the Unconscious, pp. 608 & 616, where he calls this the clearest and most systematic exposition of Adler's thinking.

"Bekhterev contributed to the areas of neurophysiology, neuropathology, and the objective study of psychological phenomena. He studied the brain since 1883,demonstrating the control of vegetative functions by the thalamic regions and the existence of nerve centers that control the sympathetic nervous system. He also studied the reticular formation, the cerebellum, skin muscle centers, and demonstrated the existence of antagonistic nerve centers in the brain in 1895. Several brain structures are named in his honor" Zusne #226.
Birnbaum's University of Vienna doctoral dissertation under Karl Bühler and Richard Meister, posthumously edited and brought to publication by his widow. An encyclopedic and systematic exposition of fields and methods useful for education, this was not your ordinary thesis, for Birnbaum had already had a decade's experience running an experimental school in Vienna founded on the principles of Individual Psychology.A follower of Alfred Adler from the time he met him in 1920, Birnbaum became an important collaborator, becoming, after Adler's death in 1937, the leading Adlerian in Austria. He played an important role in the reform of Austrian schools in the 1920s & 1930s. See Paul Stepansky, In Freud's Shadow, pp. 215-216.

OCLC lists 11 libraries: Cornell & Cornell Med; UCLA, Univ Colorado at Boulder, Harvard Law & Harvard Med, Ohio State, Univ TX Ransom collection, Wellcome, London Libr. The true first appearance of the first volume of Ellis's Studies in the Psychology of Sex, translated by Kurella, whom Ellis had met at the International Medical Congress in 1894 in Rome and who had already translated Ellis's Man and Woman and The Criminal into German. From 1902 on the volume on sexual inversion would appear as volume two of the set that eventually reached completion with its seventh volume in 1927. Ellis did so entirely to deflect attention from the volume dealing with homosexuality, which he had never wanted to be the lead volume for the set. In its next appearance, in English in 1897 in somewhat altered form and omitting some of Symonds's material, Symonds's name was still on the title-page as co-author. His wife bought up the small edition and destroyed it, through Symonds's literary executor, Horatio Brown. Next it appeared—now without Symonds's name—and the second issue was used as a pretext by the authorities to prosecute George Bedborough's bookshop selling material relating to anarchism, birth control, and free thought. Then volume two appeared in 1900 with a Leipsig imprint—except that it was actually printed and published in England, making it and Ellis once again potentially subject to prosecution. At this point, Ellis had had it with trying to publish the Studies in England. From volume three on the set was published only in the United States by F. A. Davis."Sexual Inversion was an unprecedented book. Never before had homosexuality been treated so sobertly, so comprehensively, so sympathetically. To read it today is to read the voice of common sense and compassion; to read it then was, for the grewat majority, to be affronted by a deliberate incitement to vice of the most degrading kind" [Phyllis Grosskurth's Havelock Ellis, p. 185]. See Grosskurth's entire discussion of Ellis, Symonds, and the Studies, pp. 165-190; aslo Vincent Brome's Havelock Ellis: Philosopher of Sex, chapter 7, pp. 88-108.

Exner "identified the superficial tangential fibres of the molecular layer of the cerebral cortex, known eponymically as 'Exner's plexus'" [GM-5 #141] and identified the source of agraphia in the second frontal lobe convolution. Brücke's student and successor in Vienna, Exner cofounded the journal Zeitschrift für Psychologie und Physiologie der Sinnesorgane. "The relationship between psychic manifestations and the activity of the central nervous system occupied him time and again, as evidenced by his work on cerebral localization (1881). Concepts such as reaction time, facilitation and inhibition were coined and then explained by Exner" [Karl Rothschuh History of Physiology (Huntington, NY: Krieger, 1973), p. 242). Also see the numerous references in Boring's Sensation and Perception to Exner's experimental work on sensation.
Norman Catalog 773.
Norman Catalog 772; GM-5 4972. The foundation text for modern experimental psychology.
Norman Catalog: "Fechner founded the science of psychophysics, which applies the laws of mathematical physics to the physiology of sensation." By mathematically tying subjective sensation to the logarithim of the stimulus (Fechner's law), Fechner brought psychology within the domain of experimental science by allowing it to deal with quantities rather than just to assess qualities. In the present work he developed the method of limits (just noticeable differences), the method of constant stimuli, and the method of average error, each a fundamental contribution that shaped the future course of scientific psychology.
OCLC locates copies at Harvard, NLM, Rice, Univ TX Austin & Galveston, Wellcome, & the Universities of Southern California, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. Fechner's second book after his 1821 Beweis, dass der Mond aus Jodine bestehe (of which we have never seen a copy). Published, like all his early books and some of his later more fanciful books, under the pseudonym "Dr. Mises." Though OCLC records 9 copies (a surprising number for so uncommon a book), this is now essentially unfindable. Written while Fechner was still very much under the sway of Naturphilosophie.
Fechner's fourth book, written while he was mostly still interested in physics and under the sway of Naturphilosophie, is an anthology of wide-ranging essays (from cooking to aesthetics and the definition of life). Three or four essays relate to Fechner's later psychological work, the most notable being the last, which deals with the derivation of organic laws from spatial symbols ("Versuch einer Entwicklung des Organisationsgetzes aus dem räumlichen Symbol"). It is here that Fechner articulated some of his earliest ideas on the nature of the nervous system and its molding of the conscious self.
Fechner's name is on the front wrapper but only "Dr. Mises" on the tilte-page.
Contains four chapters: Der Schatten is lebendig; Der Raum hat vier Dimensionen; Es gibt hererei; Dei Welt ist nicht durch ein ursprünglich schaffendes, sondern zerstörendes Princip entstanden.
GM 1635: "Forel's best work; translated into 16 languages."
First published in book form in 1908 in Yearsley's English translation, this is a much revised second edition of articles on the subject, the first of which appeared in German in 1878 and the rest in French over the ensuing years. As of the time of publication of this book, there had been no French edition.
Chapters on the mind, memory, imagination, character, temperament, instinct, friendship, materialism & idealism.Born in Osnabrück, Fortlage taught at Heidelberg and Berlin before becoming professor of philosophy at Jena in 1846, a post he held until his death. Originally a follower of Hegel, he turned to Fichte and the philosopher-psychologist Friedrich Eduard Beneke, agreeing with his assertion that psychology is the basis of all philosophy. The fundamental idea of his psychology is impulse, which combines representation (thereby presupposing consciousness) and feeling (i.e., pleasure). [Taken from the 11th edition Britannica].

"A study of the nature and future of religious beliefs. Freud enumerated the human needs that lead people to construct religious beliefs, and addressed the question of whether humanity could learn to endure the hardships of life without recourse to the comfort of religion — a question that he hoped might one day be answered in the affirmative" [Norman Catalog].
