Psychiatry Between the Wars, 1918-1945 - Walter Bromberg - Bog

?This is a satisfying book, filled with good detail, written with good perspective. Bromberg's simple thesis is that psychiatry seems to advance in spectacular spurts' and that the period following World War I, lasting until World War II saw the veritable burgeoning of psychiatry.' ... While this is a personal' book ... the author has taken great pains to be a good and fair observer, to be one who arrays facts and gives occasional opinions but who also notes contrary notions and is open to having his observations interpreted in other ways. ... A bibliographic essay on psychiatric literature of the period plus a carefully prepared index round out the volume.?-Journal of the History of Medicine
