Www.booksbyrule.com is a website
administered by friends and relatives and dedicated to the views of Colter
Rule, M. D.
|

Dr. Rule was a physician and
practicing
psychiatrist who, long after he retired from medicine, continued to see a few
patients although he said that they did much more for him than he did for
them. His background -- as described by surviving cronies -- was
broad, deep and "restless". A graduate of Johns Hopkins
School of Medicine he continued training in internal medicine followed by
research at The Rockefeller Institute (now Rockefeller University). A
specialist in Internal Medicine but continually encountering the
problems and puzzles of human behavior, he gave up a busy practice to
undertake years of training in psychiatry and psychoanalysis.

Questioning the prevailing
theories, Freud, Adler, Jung and others, he began an extensive study of
the evolution of human behavior beginning with our primitive animal
cousins the monkeys and apes. Using the rapidly accumulating
findings of Jane Goodal and other field observers of non-human primates
his revolutionary theory of human behavior was first published in the
American Journal of Psychiatry in 1964. Since his other papers and
books many of his views, such as dominance and territoriality as observed
in human behavior, have become common knowledge.

What has escaped acceptance
has been the history and role of the female in human development and human
affairs. Her role in the origin of pair bonding and the family, in
language, in invention of tools and in teaching the young and many other
human social functioning continues to be neglected and ignored. In
short, constituting more than 50% of the human population her views in the
realms of politics, government, business and education varies between
non-existent and immaterial.

It is to play a role in
correcting this extreme imbalance that this website is dedicated.
