When the President is feeling as he was last week after his reassuring tour, he likes his crises not singly but in bunches.

Most psychologists, in attempting to be scientific, hope to discover general laws about mind or behavior, which, like the laws of physics and chemistry, hold true for all similar cases.

In this book Dr. Allport holds that psychologists may also arrive at valid generalizations by studying the unique personalities of individuals. "A general law," he says, "may be a law that tells how uniquencess comes about." In pursuing this apporach he introduces the reader to a field of interest new to most Americans, though...
