The indexes that appear at the end of each journal are his own indexes. Journal 13, his "medical journal" is not included, but much of the material from it appears as an Appendix in journal 11, where it fits chronologically and where it first appeared before Maslow transposed it to journal 13. There are occasional overlaps in chronology of the various journals, because Maslow sometimes kept more than one journal at the same time. The content of these pages is reproduced here virtually unaltered. During the remaining 11 years of his life he was able to fill his journals with several thousand pages of handwritten notes, records, and reflections. Maslow began keeping his journals in 1959 at the age of 51. The value of these journals is that they offer an almost unparalleled glimpse into the innermost workings of an extraordinary man. Although he had an approach to psychology uniquely his own, the value of these journals is by no means limited to those who are aficionados of this approach. These are the journals of Abraham Harold Maslow (1908 - 1970), who during the last several decades of his life was among the most eminent of American psychologists.
