Dr. Garma has written a very useful text-book for his fellow-countrymen. Though confined to the space of some 100 pages, he has succeeded with excellent judgement in selecting and presenting the major issues in the different fields of psychoanalysis. The book is divided into three parts: (1) Psycho-Analytical Theory. This deals with the mental constitution (id, super-ego and ego), libidinal types and anxiety. (2) Aspects of Psycho-Analysis. These include discussions of infancy, sexual development, puberty, neurosis and psychosis, treatment, and the relation of mental to somatic disorders. (3) The Psycho-Analytical Movement. This is essentially a description of Freud's personality together with an account of the development of his work. There is a well-chosen bibliography.
