| Summary: | "The present volume is a revision of the Guides for History Taking and Clinical Examination of Psychiatric Cases edited in 1921 by Dr. George H. Kirby, then Director of the Psychiatric Institute. The first edition was compiled mainly for the use of physicians in psychiatric hospitals. Since 1921, however, with the spread and advance of psychiatric education and interest, the Guides have been more widely used by medical students and psychiatrists in various psychiatric activities. In the present edition, therefore, certain revisions and amplifications have been made with such uses in mind. In this third edition, the outlines are intended to direct the attention of the examiner along the important channels in mental history taking, to refer to the special topics and factors to be investigated, and to serve as an orderly scheme for the examination of psychiatric patients. Many of the suggestions will not apply in each individual case, but they are offered to include the numerous possibilities which may be encountered in the various phases and types of mental disorder"--Preface.
