In this book, Rose investigates how psychological sciences focused on selfhood and legal segregation emerged simultaneously in the American South after 1900 and shows how they presented conflicting views of human nature. American psychiatry, psychology, and psychoanalysis share an optimism about personality development and a belief in the efficacy of science as a solution for psychological problems.
