The second edition of Ives Hendrick's excellent popular presentation of psychoanalytic practice and theory has been made more comprehensive by the addition of sections on psychoanalytic investigation of organic disease and the applications of psychoanalysis to nonmedical fields, and by the inclusion of a brief resumé of controversies about infantile female sexuality. A few other sections have been expanded or rewritten, notably the historical chapter on the organization and training of psychoanalysts which contains an excellent summary of the history of psychoanalytic training in this country as well as in Europe.

As is to be expected, the second edition is characterized by the same comprehensive and sound knowledge of psychoanalytic literature and by the same plastic vividness of presentation that were the particular merits of the first edition.
