About the Author
Karl Augustus Menninger (July 22, 1893 - July 18, 1990), born in Topeka, Kansas, was an American psychiatrist and a member of the famous Menninger family of psychiatrists who founded the Menninger Foundation and the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas.
During his career, Menninger wrote a number of influential books. In his first book, The Human Mind, Menninger argued that psychiatry was a science and that the mentally ill were only slightly different than healthy individuals. In The Crime of Punishment, Menninger argued that crime was preventable through psychiatric treatment; punishment was a brutal and inefficient relic of the past. He advocated treating offenders like the mentally ill.
His subsequent books include The Vital Balance, Man Against Himself and Love Against Hate.

Well worth the read,
By A reader (Glendale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Against Hate (Paperback)
This book is a bit dated now, but Menninger makes many sound psychological and sociological points on a perennially important topic: the inner contest between love and aggression in all of us, and some ways in which it can be tipped in favor of love.
