Study Of Organ Inferiority And Its Psychical Compensation
The purpose of this book is to add to clinical medicine a further principle of research. From the completeness and the import of these early results I am sure that I have come upon very fruitful territory. To me, moreover, it was an attractive task to see our benumbered and thwarted conceptions of disease completely dissolved; to be able to observe human pathology in its making. Many a valuable bit of knowledge has supported my theory of the inferiority of organs. I have been unable to give acknowledgment to all at the proper place, as I should have liked. In this paper, in addition to the authors named, the range of thought of Martins, Rosenhach, Exner, Hering, Obersteiner, Haeckel, Schtcalbe, and many another has played a large part. This work is to count as a beginning. Perhaps, at some future time, I shall be permitted to make the connection with clinical medicine, with psychology, and pedagogy still closer by bringing together all previous works on the subject.
