The Behavioral Scientist as Integrator

Abstract

Cyril Franks makes a cogent and powerful argument for avoiding a too early marriage between two immature partners whose philosophies, understanding, and emotional attitudes toward facts and phantasies are at great variance. Perhaps they should wait until each has matured and learned more about life and each other, especially in the areas of the organization of the brain as well as the mind. This will permit each of them the freedom to be expansive, curious, and inventive before succumbing to a joint enterprise that requires compromise in order to be collaborative.
