Abstract
Although the author draws mostly on secondhand sources, this is an insightful and influential account of Enlhet psychology. A central concept of Enlhet and Enxet psychology is the' valhoc," which the author translates as "the innermost" and is considered the seat of emotions. Indeed, all emotions are understood as various states of the innermost. Furthermore, social character is equated with a stable and peaceful innermost. The author also discusses behavior with respect to effects of the innermost.
