In a foreword Dr. Marion Kenworthy quotes Elmer Southard of the Boston Psychopathic Hospital as often remarking to his students, 'Whether you feel you have anything to say that has new significance or not, it is important for you to write. You must share with others what you have learned.' Dr. Menninger has followed his famous teacher's advice. During forty years, he has had published approximately three hundred and seventy-seven articles, five books, and thirty-nine book reviews. His activities as a teacher, lecturer, dean of the Menninger Foundation, consultant to the Veterans Administration, and past president of the American Psychoanalytic Association are well known to all analysts.
This book was planned in honor of Dr. Menninger's sixty-fifth birthday, and edited by Dr. Bernard H. Hall who has written an introductory biography. It contains eighty-three papers of Dr. Menninger, selected by a committee of men distinguished in the psychiatric field, all but four of whom have had published contributions to the literature in various popular magazines and literary and scientific journals, including This QUARTERLY. The papers appeal to various levels of interest and sophistication and have been appropriately grouped into six categories.
