Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Printed in the U.S.A. [Date from the copyright page.] Foreword, Preface to the German and to the English editions, Introduction, Bibliography for each chapter, Footnotes, Index; xvii, 533 pages. Attractive maroon cloth with white lettering on the spine and upper board and publisher's blind stamp on the rear. The interior shows a touch of age-toning but remains creamy-bright and clean throughout, despite a few freckles on the fore-edge and a hint of toning to the endpapers. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] "As the director of a hospital for brain-injured soldiers [during World War I], my experiences compelled me to broaden the medical frame of reference to a more biological orientation. It soon became evident that only the biological approach is adequate to evaluate the changes which these suffering fellow men have undergone; moreover, the facts taught me that there was no other procedure available which could render aid, however imperfect, to these patients. The biological orientation and method which grew out of that practice also proved fruitful in long years of other medical work and research."---from the Preface. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Edition in English of Der Aufbau des Organismus (1934). xviii, 533 pp, 1 leaf. Original cloth, lettered in gilt. Head of spine slightly worn. Spine lettering rubbed. Else Very Good. With a Foreword by Karl Spencer Lashley. 'W. P. 1' printed on verso of title page; there are copies with 'E. P. 1' on the verso that also have white spine lettering not gilt; these are thought to be later printings. American Psychology Series. Goldstein 'was already an established neuropsychologist when he emigrated from Germany to the United States in the 1930s. This book, his magnum opus and widely regarded as a modern classic in psychology and biology, grew out of his dissatisfaction with traditional natural science techniques for analyzing living beings. It offers a broad introduction to the sources and range of application of the 'holistic' or 'organismic' research program that has since become a standard part of biological thought. In the course of his studies of brain-damaged soldiers during World War I, Goldstein became aware of the inability of contemporary biology and medicine to explain both the impact of such injuries and the astonishing adjustments that patients made to them. He began to challenge atomistic approaches that dealt with 'localized' symptoms, insisting instead that an organism must be analyzed in terms of the totality of its behavior and interaction with its surrounding milieu. Goldstein was especially concerned with the breakdown of organization and the failure of central controls that take place in catastrophic responses to situations such as physical or mental illness. But he was equally attuned to the amazing powers of the organism to readjust to such catastrophic losses, if only by withdrawal to a more limited range which it could manage by a redistribution of its reduced energies, thus reclaiming as much wholeness as new circumstances allowed. Goldstein's theses in The Organism have had an important impact on philosophical and psychological thought throughout this century, as can be seen in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Georges Canguilhem, Ernst Cassirer, and Ludwig Binswanger. In the words of Oliver Sacks: "All that Goldstein observed and brooded over -- levels of organization of the nervous system, health, disease, adaptation, reconstruction -- has once again come to the fore, with the advent of new conceptual and technical tools to approach these. The global theory that Goldstein and Lashley and the Gestaltists sought may now have emerged in Edelman's theory of neural Darwinism and his concept of the brain as a sort of society, in which every part is dynamically connected with every other' (Web site of the MIT Press, which reprinted the book with an introduction by Oliver Sacks in 1995).
