Nomadism, or the Wandering Impulse, with Special Reference to Heredity. (Carnegie Institution of Washington, 1915.)

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

This is the second of the author's studies on the “feebly inhibited,” and in the preface he justifies the use of that term, on the ground that, while the term “mind” could doubtless be stretched to cover the emotional phenomena he is dealing with, it seems best to consider the hereditary basis of the emotions separately. “The chief problem in administering society is that of disordered conduct; conduct is controlled by emotions, and the quality of the emotions is strongly tinged by the hereditary constitution.”
