RT Journal T1 MEntal deficiency (amentia). JF Journal of the American Medical Association JO Journal of the American Medical Association YR 1929 FD October 12 VO 93 IS 15 SP 1172 OP 1172 DO 10.1001/jama.1929.02710150064040 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1929.02710150064040 AB This volume, now in its fifth edition, largely rewritten, is one of the most popular guides for practitioners who are interested in the field of mental disturbances. The author has apparently kept abreast of recent investigations in this field, and he couples his knowledge with a tremendous experience and with extraordinary ability in expressing himself. His discussions are elaborated by good case reports, and his consideration of mental tests, of methods of procedure and of allied topics is reliable. The book should interest every physician who is at all interested in the field of mental disturbances.
