This is a book really useful to the family physician — a book that tells you 

 definitely how to diagnose, how to treat — either at home or in an institution — all 

 classes of mental diseases. First, Dr. Dercum takes up the various primary 

 forms of mental disease, giving emphasis to those you meet in your daily practice 

 as general practitioner — delirium, confusion, stupor. Then melancholia, mania, 

 the insanities of early life, paranoia, the neurasthenic-neuropathic disorders, and 

 the dementias follow. The mental disturbances of the infections (syphilis, tubercu- 

 losis, malaria, pellagra, rheumatic fever, etc.), the various forms of intoxicational 

 insanities, those due to metabolic disorders, visceral disease, diseases of the 

 nervous system are all given you — and from your viewpoint. An important sec- 

 tion is that devoted to the insanities of pregnancy. An entire part is devoted to 

 the psychologic interpretations of symptoms as evolved by Freud and his disciples. 

 You get a full discussion of the role of dreams.
