"The Glands Regulating Personality" by Louis Berman is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intricate relationship between the endocrine system and human personality, examining how various glands of internal secretion influence individual traits and behaviors. It delves into both historical and biological contexts, discussing significant figures in the discovery of these glands and proposing a synthesis between physiological findings and personality theory. At the start of the book, Berman introduces the foundational ideas regarding human nature and the impact of internal secretions on personality. He reflects on the historical perspective of human instincts and the complexities of freedom, tying them to contemporary discussions on biology and psychology. The opening chapters outline how the understanding of glands has evolved, tracing the contributions of early medical pioneers while establishing a framework for examining how these biological components shape human characteristics and societal structures. Characters such as Theophile de Bordeu and other historical figures are highlighted as significant contributors to the comprehension of the glands and their implications for understanding human behavior.
