Stimulated by studies concerning animal be havior, such as those more recently by Loeb, Jennings, and others, there has been developed an attractive point of view from which the pathological as well as the normal activities of living beings can be investigated with profit. To the student of psychiatry this biologic approach should appeal strongly because of the fact that the sciences Of biology and psychology are coming nearer and nearer to occupy a common ground, each lending support to the facts which serve to elucidate the phenomena of the other order, and also for the reason that -this point of view can consistently hold that mental phenomena, both in health and disease, are representatives of the biological reactions of the individual as a whole, rather than that of any particular organ or group of organs.
