Abstract

The Mental Treatment Act of 1930 has brought within the purview of the mental hospital that large class of psychoneurotic and “early psychotic” patients who formerly drifted despairingly in the wilderness between orthodox medicine and the quack. The purpose of this paper is to show how an attempt is being made in this hospital to deal with this heterogeneous class of patients by means of psychotherapy, carried out by the ordinary medical staff of the hospital, without interference with their routine duties.
