| Summary: | "In the past twenty years, so many books on psychiatry, psychoanalysis, mental hygiene, and child guidance have been published, that an author of a new book in this field must hesitate to add still another. But this one is intended for an audience that for the most part has been neglected, an audience made up of those who have a daily, almost hourly, need for psychiatric understanding and facility. My audience is the general practitioners of medicine, and the medical specialists in fields other than psychiatry. It is they who see the early cases of psychiatric disorder. It is they whose work can be of high value in mental hygiene. Arid it is they who must treat the majority of the psychologic problems in the community. This book on psychotherapy was written for general practitioners and medical specialists, and for medical students. It was not written for psychiatrists or psychoanalysts, or for students of psychiatry. It was not intended for public consumption"--Introduction.
