The Glands Regulating Personality (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. A Study of the Glands of Internal Secretion in Relation to the Types of Human NatureBy Louis Berman
Length9h 49m
About this audiobook
The Glands Regulating Personality examines the "ductless glands" of internal secretion—thyroid, pituitary, adrenals, gonads, and others—as forces shaping temperament, physique, intellect, and conduct. Written in a confident, synthetic prose characteristic of early twentieth-century medical popularization, the book stands at the intersection of endocrinology, psychology, and social typology, seeking biological explanations for varieties of human character before the rise of modern genetics and neuroscience. Louis Berman was an American physician and medical writer associated with the formative decades of endocrine science, when hormones were newly imagined as master regulators of the body and mind. His training and clinical interests led him to translate emerging laboratory and hospital observations into a broad theory of personality, reflecting both the scientific excitement and the deterministic assumptions of his period. This book is recommended to readers interested in the history of medicine, psychology, and ideas of human nature. While many of its claims must be read critically in light of later science, it remains a revealing document of an era that believed personality might be decoded through physiology.
