Not only does it provide valuable insights into the history of modern social psychology, it also points the way to a more significant future social psychology." -- Morton Deutsch E.L. ,Thorndike Professor Emeritus, Teachers College, Columbia University
"It is hopeful, in troubled times, to find a social scientist in his ninth decade writing lucidly, self-critically, and wisely about the essential problems and potentialities of his chosen field. And it is an additional pleasure to find that the humanistic values of his youth are burnished rather than tarnished in his old age." * Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences *
