Abstract

The primary purpose of this book is to document the pervasive ramifications of the compositional problem (the discipline's historical inability to define or give a technical specification to psychological phenomena) for the conduction of academic, experimental psychology at five levels of analysis: methodological, epiphenomenal, explanatory, metaphysical, and normative.

I would recommend this text for any advanced undergraduate, graduate student or professional seeking a theoretical framework for the task of integration.
