Description
Summary:"The chief purpose of this book is to demonstrate as specifically as possible how psychic and physical aids to psychiatric treatment must be used as one instrument of therapy. Precise prescriptions for the various practical proven techniques are presented and illustrated in detail. Means to their effective mutual integration are presented, and emphasis is given to complications in therapy and their prevention and management. It is hoped that this book will not only provide a guide for the practical utilization of the therapeutic tools available today to physicians interested in the therapy of mental disorders, but also a sextant, as it were, for determining our present position in the quest for effective therapy, that may aid others in charting the future course in the advance of our science and art"--Preface.
