Description
Summary:The purpose of this book is to give the layman and the college student an account of the aspects of the abnormal mental life that are likely to affect or interest them. Equally prominent is the aim of showing how the abnormal phenomena are related to the normal, both to indicate where abnormal psychological theory has modified the normal, and to point out the normal acts that may be explained by laws developed for the abnormal. A statement is given of the more important suggestions that have been made for a mental hygiene. Probably more of value will be derived incidentally than can be stated in definite rules.
