Excerpt from The Structure of Morale
The logical way in which to begin a discussion of fear would be to say just what fear was. That, however, is beyond me and, I believe, something that no psychologist can do - at least to the satisfaction of other psychologists. No more can he define 'love'. The layman may be surprised at this because, of course, he knows. But the specialist is often at such a disadvantage. In his famous lecture on The Name and Nature of Poetry Professor Housman said: 'poetry indeed Seems to me more physical than intellectual. A year or two ago, in common with others, I received from America 'a request that I would define poetry. I replied that I could no more define poetry than a terrie'r could define a rat, but that I thought we both recognized the object by the symptoms which it provokes in us.' We all of us know what it is to be frightened.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of how human emotions, particularly fear, are shaped by experience. Written during the midst of World War II, the author draws on both scientific research and his own observations to examine the psychology of fear, particularly in the context of aerial bombardment. He demonstrates how fear is not a simple response to danger but a complex, conditioned reaction shaped by individual experience and the social context. The author delves into the principles of conditioned responses, explaining how repeated exposure to a signal without the anticipated danger can lead to a gradual extinction of fear. He analyzes the ways in which fear can be both triggered and dissipated, revealing how seemingly irrational reactions to threats are often the product of our innate emotional responses. The book further explores the importance of recognizing and understanding these emotional reactions in order to maintain morale and effectively navigate challenging situations, whether in the face of wartime threats or other life-altering events. The book offers insights into the nature of fear and its impact on individual and collective behavior, providing a valuable framework for understanding and navigating the complexities of human emotion.
