Features: The probability required by psychology must not only apply to a single branch, such as child psychology, animal psychology, or psychopathology, but must equally apply to the entire field. We must use the same concepts to address issues of emotional life and behavior: the problems of infants, youth, and the elderly; the problems of healthy individuals and patients; the problems of animals and humans; the problems of personality and the environment. Isn't this a return to speculative systems? I can answer with a "yes" or a "no." Why "yes"? Because I am unwilling to blindly collect facts, leading psychology to fragment into many unrelated branches. Why "no"? Because we absolutely do not wish to deduce all psychological facts from a single concept, such as association, reflex, instinct, or holism.
