This is the first book by a single author to provide a comprehensive account of relevant work in the field. The studies which Professor Davies reviews range from technical psychoanalysis to clinical and social psychology; from political science to management; from personality theory to general and political biography; and are fully international in scope. The order he bestows on them is original and instructive and as a sustained effort of critical discrimination the narrative is impressive and intellectually exciting. Throughout, the reader is made aware of a world of exploration and discover in the process of being opened up.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart I.
