Abstract
THIS little work, which is based on many years experience of mental diseases not only in Great Britain but also on the Continent and in America, is primarily intended for non-medical readers, especially magistrates, coroners and social workers, but it will also prove a useful introduction to the study of psychiatry, particularly in its practical aspects, by the medical student and graduate. In spite of its subtitle the book is not confined to treatment but also contains a concise and lucid account of the history, causes, symptoms and legal aspects of the various forms of mental disease. Special chapters are devoted to the discussion of mental deficiency, sterilization and research. In the last chapter Dr. Hutton maintains that the most important development of the future lies in the out-patient clinic, where all who feel mentally ill can openly come for treatment.
