Abstract
THE study of the psychoneuroses, or, as Dr. Culpin sometimes prefers to call them, the minor psychoses, is a peculiarly wide and difficult subject. Dr. Culpin in this book gives a very compact and readable account which well maintains the standard set in this series. The book is written from the point of view of psychoanalysis, that is, a strictly Freudian attitude. The views of Jung and Adler are well set out in separate chapters by Dr. Young and Dr. Redfern. Dr. E. Miller deals with the psychopathology of childhood and Dr. Rees with psychotherapeutic clinics. While stressing the Freudian approach, the author is careful to maintain an even balance, so that the physical side of the picture is by no means neglected.
