His concluding chapter, dealing with the psychologic schools, indicates the differences in point of view of the freudian method from that of Adler and Jung. The book is supplemented by a bibliography, a glossary and an index. It is not likely to have much interest for the average lay reader. It will, however, be significant to all workers in the field of psychiatry, to educators and to those especially interested in the scientific significance of SN - 0002-9955 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.1939.02800230088043 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1939.02800230088043 ER -
