Hardcover. First edition. Octavo. 558pp. Green cloth gilt. Bookplate and signature of a noted American psychologist, tiny bump at the top corner of a few pages, very near fine without dustwrapper. A nice copy of this psychology study, co-author C. Daly King was a psychologist who also authored several highly collected mystery novels about a group of psychologists, "The Obelists," who travel around solving crimes. This title is co-authored with William Moulton Marston, the creator of Wonder Woman and the inventor of an early lie detector test, and with Marston's wife, Elizabeth, who along with their polyamorous partner Olive Byrne, were in large part the inspiration for the character Wonder Woman. All three authors are seen in the frontispiece photo monitoring the vital signs of two other subjects. The first edition is very uncommon.
