: Individuality in pain and suffering. Chicago/London, University of Chicago Press, 1967. pp. 152. $5.
These two books are as different as chalk and cheese. Bakan's is a sincere attempt to come to terms with human suffering, and, as such, necessarily becomes somewhat personal and speculative. Petrie's monograph arises out of 20 years of experimental work and deals with some simple generalizations about individual differences in perception which have gradually evolved.
