A book of especial importance to all psychiatrists who are interested in the social applications of mental medicine, and particularly of interest to those who have had faith in its value for industry. The author,
Dr. Anderson, was the Director of Medical Research of the big department store of R. H. Macy & Company, of New York City, to which position he took an excellent training in psychiatry and mental hygiene work. The book is of particular value because it tells in such detail the actual operation of the work of their unit, consisting of a psychiatrist, a psychologist and a psychiatric social worker, just how they went about their work, what the problems were with which they were confronted and how these problems were met, and their final results. The work is documented by numerous sufficiently detailed case histories to illustrate the various points. The book stands as concrete proof of the actual value of mental hygiene in industry, and, by a parity of reasoning, its value when applied to similar social problems.
