(2) Manic-Depressive Insanity and Paranoia (1921. 277 pages and 53 illustrations). Price 21/- nett.
By Prof. Kraepelin of Munich. Translated by R. Mary Barclay, M. A., M. B. From the eighth German Edition of the 'Text-Book of Psychiatry', vol. III and IV. Edited by George M. Robertson, M. D., F. R. C. P. (E. and S. Livingstone, 17 Teviot Place, Edinburgh.)
These two excellent translations of the specified chapters from the pre-war edition of Kraepelin's 'Psychiatrie' have been a boon to those English students of Psychiatry who are unable to read German.
They are the most complete clinical description of the psychoses extant and should be read by all medical psychologists and asylum medical officers. Although there is nothing about psycho-analysis, except here and there to contradict Freud's discoveries, this need not prevent students of psycho-analysis from endeavouring to interpret the symptoms, so fully described by Kraepelin, in the light of their own psycho-analytical knowledge.
