About This Item
Literary Guild of America, 1930. hardcover. good: wear to boards and spine, scuffing at corners, name in crayon(?) or heavy pencil on front paste down with offset on FFEP, mild foxing and toning, hinge cracking at title page but still intact. Binding intact overall, serviceable reading copy./no DJ. 8vo 447pp. from Preface: "I have tried to put down in a systematic fashion the conception I have of the human personality. I have tried to keep it objective and specific, and to write it so it could be understood. I think it represents approximately the vievws of the younger group in American psychiatry. But I don't claim this. I take all the responsibility, because no other psychiatrist saw a page of it until it came from the press. It is full of my own ideas, my own views, my own prejudices, my own mistakes. But it's what I teach my students and it's what I tell my patients. The adjuration to be "normal" seems shockingly repellent to me; I see neither hope nor comfort in sinking to that low level." #00954.
