| Summary |
"This manual is a first attempt at giving an overall view of the implications of the visual demonstrations and the perceptual theory which have originated at the Institute for Associated Research under the direction of Adelbert Ames, Jr. There has been no lack of publications stemming from this work, but each of them has dealt with only a fragment of the total picture. The result has been that, even if one were to read a variety of such publications, the underlying principles which relate them all would not necessarily be clear. We who have been intimately associated "with the Institute are well aware of the basic unity of the Institute's work, and have often been faced with the task of trying to make clear, through demonstrations and conversation, how all the little bits of this and that fit together. Each time we try it, we are reminded anew of the difficulty of the task, but it is a task which must be done, not in transient oral form, but on the printed page. The need is particularly urgent now because of the program of research being undertaken for the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Navy Department, Washington, D. C, in an effort to bring our findings to bear on problems in the psychiatric area. To do this job at all adequately we must communicate our findings to psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and any others who will be involved in the planning and conduct of the research"--Preface.
