TY - JOUR T1 - Hormones and behavior: A survey of interrelationships between endocrine secretions and patterns of overt response Y1 - 1949/08/13 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1949.02900500056038 JO - Journal of the American Medical Association SP - 1248 EP - 1248 VL - 140 IS - 15 N2 - The psychosomatic approach to human activities has developed new interest in the relationships between body and mind. In those relationships activity of glands and particularly sex glands play a major part. Some of the studies recently reported by psychologists that deal with behavior of animals and men have served to advance greatly the diagnosis of disturbances of the human being from both physical and mental points of view. Especially important have been the studies of anthropoid apes. The author has consulted an enormous periodical literature in the development of this book. The conclusion is reached that in man as in animals the impact of hormonal influences on behavior is pronounced. The work establishes clearly the importance of biologic studies of all living species in understanding man.
