In this book, the living and active body is observed in two general ways: the one way revealing its physiological functions, the other its psychological functions. The partition between these types of function is made upon the basis of a natural difference in the method of treatment and in the training and outlook of physiologist and psychologist, not upon any substantial division of the organism into a physical part and a psychical part. The psychological functions are here to be distinguished and described, the bodily resources underlying them to be sought out (so far as the present limitations of anatomy and physiology will permit), and the nature of their initiation, government, and control set forth. As fundamental a concept as function is the concept of government. No active system maintains itself without guidance and control. Individual parts and members have to be coordinated and the whole system regulated with respect both to its own functions and to its outside relations. Physiologists have of late made notable progress in the discovery of the means and the principles of government for their own bodily processes, while psychologists have always assumed that forces within or forces without have kept man active and held him in regulation. Some principle of government is implicit in every kind and brand of psychology. Instead of taking a doctrinal stand upon any one of these theoretical proposals, however, the present work seeks directly to discover behind the actual operations of man all those agencies which initiate, regulate, and control conduct and accomplishment.
