Excerpt from The Mind at Work: A Handbook of Applied Psychology I cannot send this book to press without a brief word of thanks to the eminent scientists who have directly and indirectly assisted in its production. I am specially indebted for help to Dr. Hyslop, late Superintendent of Bethlem Hospital, Professor Max Meyer, and to my contributors, Dr. Buttar and Mr. E. J. Foley. The latter, who is responsible for nine chapters, asks me to print the following note: " It would have been perhaps impossible, and certainly tedious, to give, in the part of this book for which I am responsible, the authorities for the statements made. In a few instances the source is stated; in most, not; and it is not to be assumed that where no obligation is acknowledged, none exists.

Excerpt from The Mind at Work: A Handbook of Applied Psychology The study of the mind cannot properly be separated from the study of the body, for the two are most intimately related. We all know that when tired and hungry the brain refuses to work. We cannot think clearly. A glass of wine and a biscuit and a short rest restores to us our mental faculties. Or to put the case the other way, good news stimulates appetite, while shock or anxiety gives a distaste for food. These are simple and obvious illustrations; but there are much more remarkable ones that we shall have to discuss later on. The greater part of our mental life is necessarily made up of impressions of the outside world that reach us by means of our senses. The eyes and ears and other receptive organs are constantly telegraphing messages to the brain along the nerve fibres. It is one of the chief functions of the mind to interpret these messages, and they eventually, in some mysterious fashion, pass into the region of our consciousness. These primary sensations of a physical origin supply the science of psychology with a convenient starting-point for its investigation, and the study of sensation forms a link between the science of the body and the science of the mind.
