Excerpt from Mental Hygiene, 1921, Vol. 5 Behaviorism looks Upon what a man does in contrast to what he thinks and feels - that is, upon his conduct - as being the most important expression of his psychology. In other words, his actions are taken as the only authoritative expres sion of What he is. Thinking and feeling have significance only so far as they are preparatory for and lead to action. Theman who thinks and feels, but does not translate his ideas and emotions into action, is hamstrung by doubt; he is unable to choose among the several possibilities presented to him; out of the mass of possible actions he has not been able to choose one, and so his true self does not stand revealed. His powers of expression are sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought. Behaviorism believes that by their deeds ye Shall know them. However, I would remind you, in passing, that failure to act in the ordinary sense is itself action. A body comes to rest only because the forces that act upon it are for the time being in equilibrium. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Mental Hygiene: Two Years' Experience of a Clinical Psychologist In February, 1917, I opened an office in San Francisco, as consulting psychologist.
