(1887-1967) Wrote Gestalt Psychology. The mind is the organized and dynamic structure of the whole of experience and behavior. Mind is "the structural correspondence of excitory fields in the brain with the experienced contents of consciousness" (isomorphism). Mental phenomena occur and interact in fields. There is "a psycho-physiological correspondence between experienced order in space and time and the underlying dynamical context of physiological processes." Mind is therefore the form or function of body.
