This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.
I read old copy of this book back in 1977 when I began working in a state mental Health Hospital and found it in the nursing library. It is one of those books that I look back on as life changing as I beleive it affected my decision to get a degree and make a career in the Mental health field.
I read it some years back after finding it in a rural library that had probably never been culled, and the foreword's writer said the book should never be allowed to go out of print. Unfortunately, it was, and now it's back!
Clifford Whittingham Beers, 1876-1943, was the American founder of the mental hygiene movement, born in New Haven, Conn., grad.
