A considerable portion of this book previously appeared as a chapter on “The Treatment of the Neuroses, including the Psychoneuroses” in
White and Jelliffe's Modern Treatment of Nervous and Mental Diseases. The present volume is an elaboration of the material presented there. The book sets forth the general principles of psychotherapy, together with a critical examination of the different methods employed such as suggestion, persuation, and psychoanalysis, and is written in an unusually clear and easily comprehensible style. It admirably presents the Freudian theories of the pathogenesis of the neuroses and gives valuable hints for their treatment. It is a valuable volume for the library of the general practitioner, as well as for the psychiatrist. The reviewer suggests that a more elaborate and detailed presentation of the subject by the author would be welcomed and trusts that he may decide to follow this course in a second edition.
