Mind and its Disorders: A Text-book for Students and Practitioners of Medicine

Abstract

A REVIEW of the new edition of this well-known text-book is justified by extensive modifications corresponding to the author's conversion to the doctrines of Freud. The volume contains in 572 pages an account of normal and morbid psychology—including the tracing of all mental processes in psychological terms to their original elements and their correlation with their neural equivalents—of the clinical forms of all the neuroses and psychoses and their investigation and treatment, of the diseases to which the insane are specially liable, and of the legal relations of insanity.

Mind and its Disorders: A Text-book for Students and Practitioners of Medicine.

By Dr. W. H. B. Stoddart. Third edition. (Lewis's Practical Series.) Pp. xx + 580. (London: H. K. Lewis and Co., Ltd., 1919.) Price 18s. net.
