- Summary:
- "The book represents an attempt to grasp the realities of mental disease. It is written with some respect for tradition, but with much more respect for fact. It is written in the belief that what mankind needs is not so much that most prevalent wish fulfillment, "cheerio" optimism, but rather a definite acquaintance with specific situations. In other words, it is not a book of propaganda, but a book which seeks to stimulate intelligent, non-professional interest in a serious subject, and thus make it possible for society to grapple more resolutely with the problems of the mental diseases"-- Preface.
