This monograph serves as an admirable work in the history of 20th-century science. It provides critical information on a man whose writing served to give Freud a forum in which to permanently unlock some of the structure and mystery of psychosis.
- Sidney H. Weissman, Contemporary Psychiatry
This book shows that history and psychiatry can be focused together to understand a man, his time, his place, and the social forces that molded him. This is a solid contribution that could be read for pleasure by all physicians with a curiosity about the mind and history.
- G. E. Gifford, Journal of the American Medical Association
To those interested in the history of education, child rearing and parent-child relations, this volume will provide valuable information, original insights and stimulation for further research. Not only students of the individual and family interactions, but also those involved in community mental health will find Niederlands approach fascinating.
