This is the first review of the previous few years psychiatric literature published by the Journal of Mental Science. It is divided into twenty-seven chapters and thirty-two abstractors contributed. The chapters which will interest psycho-analysts most are: 'Psychopathology', by S. M. Coleman (38 pages); 'Psychoneurosis', by W. H. Gillespie (18 pages); 'Psychotherapy', by H. Crichton Miller and Grace H. Nicolle (7 pages); and 'Child Psychiatry', by E. M. Creak and B. J. Shorting (67 pages).
This is a valuable contribution and will be of considerable use for many years. Nevertheless, with the advent of new journals of abstracts its repetition is unlikely to be necessary. No English journal is in a better position than the Journal of Mental Science to sponsor reviews in the psychiatric field along the line of, for example, Physiological Reviews. Psychiatrists will look forward to further experiments sponsored by the Editors of the Journal of Mental Science designed to give critical help through the maze of psychiatric literature.
