Abstract
The aim of this paper is to make clear how the findings of animal experimentation can be integrated into a comprehensive psychology of human behavior. In other words, we will look at the relevance of animal experimentation from the viewpoint of a comprehensive psychology of man. This does not mean, of course, that we deny that such experiments are relevant in many other important ways, even if they are not a contribution to the understanding of human psychology.
