Man Above Humanity

every page attests the enormous reading of the author: and the scope of "psychotherapy" (in the above sense) is traced from primitive societies to the present day?and to-morrow. With all this, the book is no mere catalogue or list of famous quotations : for the author has used his own understanding and judgment to see beneath the surface in the landmarks he describes, and has gone far to fulfil his aim. So that the book is not only for those interested in history : it has lessons for all therapists to-day in the morals it draws from efforts in the past and it produces some sort of order out of the chaos of many "schools" for the general reader in psychiatry. It will take time and attention to read; it is worth it.
