Psychology of the Normal and Subnormal is a book written by Henry Herbert Goddard, a prominent American psychologist and eugenicist. The book is a comprehensive study of the psychological characteristics of both normal and subnormal individuals. Goddard defines subnormal individuals as those who have lower than average intelligence and are unable to adapt to society's norms and standards.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the psychology of normal individuals, including their cognitive abilities, emotional responses, and social behavior. Goddard also discusses the different types of intelligence and how they are measured.The second part of the book is dedicated to the psychology of subnormal individuals. Goddard discusses the causes of subnormality, including heredity, environment, and disease. He also explores the different types of subnormality, such as mental retardation, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance.Throughout the book, Goddard emphasizes the importance of eugenics, the science of improving the human race through selective breeding. He argues that subnormal individuals should not be allowed to reproduce, as this would lead to the degeneration of the human race.Overall, Psychology of the Normal and Subnormal is a controversial book that reflects the eugenic beliefs of its author. While some of its ideas have been discredited over time, the book remains an important historical document in the field of psychology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
