The Cytopathology of Virus Infection

The author misstates and oversimplifies much of Freudian theories, and in stating his own ideas does so with assurance but no documentary evidence. There are a number of factual errors in the book, such as the notion that folic acid cures pernicious anemia. The grammar and style are awkward in many places, and it is written in a nonmedical style. To summarize, this short work represents the attempt of a general practitioner to substitute his own ideas concerning mental illness for those of established psychoanalytic and psychiatric thought. It is not very successful.
