On the title:
Lewin, K. (1936). Principles of Topological Psychology— The purpose of this book is to build a set of constructive concepts based on both experimental investigations and case histories by means of which one can represent psychological reality. These concepts are intended to unify diverse fields of psychology. The concepts are intended to be operational and descriptive.

Field Theory is a psychological theory (more precisely: Topological and vector psychology) which examines patterns of interaction between the individual and the total field, or environment… It was developed by Kurt Lewin, a Gestalt psychologist, in the 1940s.
