How can psychology be applied to business? Originally published by Hugo Munsterberg in 1913, this classic treatise applies experimental methods to business and is the foundational text of industrial/organizational psychology. With a new foreword by Milton D. Hakel (Professor and Ohio Eminent Scholar Emeritus) the impact of this work continues to be felt a century after its initial publication.

This volume on psychotherapy belongs to a series of books which I am writing to discuss for a wider public the practical applications of modern psychology. The first book, called "On the Witness Stand," studied the relations of scientific psychology to crime and the law courts. This new book deals with the relations of psychology to medicine. Others discussing its relations to education, to social problems, to commerce and industry will follow soon.

This arts classic by Hugo Munsterberg is considered by some to be the first major work of film theory.

It is arbitrary to say where the development of the moving pictures began and it is impossible to foresee where it will lead. What invention marked the beginning? Was it the first device to introduce movement into the pictures on a screen? Or did the development begin with the first photographing of various phases of moving objects? Or did it start with the first presentation of successive pictures at such a speed that the impression of movement resulted?

So far we have only scattered beginnings of the new doctrine, only tentative efforts and disconnected attempts which have started, sometimes in economic, and sometimes in psychological, quarters.
