Summary "This book has been written to state not only some of the facts about man and the malady of his actions but to offer an interpretation of and a practical technique for meeting some of his problems. This book is an attempt at an orientation: an orientation which studies man as he is, in the social, psychologic, and biologic setting in which he is conceived and matured. The cases cited are taken from actual practice, and specific suggestions are made for the understanding of the illness and for the therapy thereof. The techniques cited offer specific and practical suggestions which can be used in most instances by most physicians"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved)
