SOME ASPECTS OF
PSYCHOLOGY
Beatrice Rosling This is an attempt to bring together separate parts of psychology, and to find a synthesis between the chief psychological and psycho-therapeutical hypotheses, with special reference to Freud, Jung, and Adler. As a serious and critical survey, the book may be warmly recommended. An outstanding feature is the discussion of the religious sense. "My main task," the author declares, "is to try to show religion apart from orthodoxy." She regards the religious sense as a biological necessity, but does not exclude faith or creed. In following up this view she endeavours to trace three types of expression of the religious sense : 1. The aspiration of the mystic expressing itself
in worship. 2. Personal altruism and philanthropy.
3. Public welfare activities, social and legal. This gives the term "religion" a much broader connotation than that generally accepted, but she argues that it is the function of psychology to show that religion is in fact a universal' trend.
