The Foundations of Personality by Abraham Myerson is one of the most comprehensive examinations of the neurological and psychological influences upon character of its era. Myerson is a medical professional and speaks from a background of years of practical experience in the field, yet he approaches the subject of psychology with a natural balance which allows him to remain on solid ground when so many of his contemporaries were chasing theoretical fancies.
