Psychology of Insanity

“This small volume is devoted to the various mental mechanisms in insanity. It presents in a remarkably clear manner that important recent development in abnormal psychology, namely, the influence exerted by the unconscious mental processes in the formation of the delusions, hallucinations, and conduct of the insane individual. It would lead us too far into detail to present further examples, as the book furnishes so admirable a condensation of an important trend in psychopathology. It is written in a pleasing style and is a distinct contribution to the mental mechanisms of insanity”.
