In this volume an attempt is made to review the progress made in neurology and psychiatry during 1946. It is divided into four parts: Basic Sciences, Clinical Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Part IV gives psychiatry one hundred seventy-five pages or about one third of the entire volume. There are some new chapters on such topics as forensic psychiatry, mental hygiene,
psychiatric nursing, occupational therapy and alcoholism. All the valuable contributions abstracted in this book are too numerous to discuss here. Chapter 34 on Psychoanalysis is edited by Franz Alexander and Gerhard J. Piers. A number of valuable articles which have appeared in this QUARTERLY, American Imago, American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, Psychoanalytic Review, and other journals is reviewed. The reader who wishes to keep up with the literature and who is unable to cover the entire field will find this book valuable for information and reference.
