Snow on Cholera

چکیده
THEORY AND PRACTICE OF PSYCHIATRY. By William S. Sadler. C. V. Mosby Company, St. Louis, 1936. Pp. xxii + 1231. $10. This is the largest text-book of psychiatry in English. It covers the entire field of psychiatry, with special emphasis upon the diagnosis and treatment of the less severe personality disturbances (neuroses) which may be handled in the office of the private practitioner. The book is of interest chiefly as an exposition of the author's own point of view. Not everyone would agree with his theoretical conceptions nor with the therapeutic methods which he advocates. It seems unlikely that many psychiatrists will recommend this work as a text-book for students or practitioners. PAUL WILLIAM PREU.

متن کاملJohn Snow, hero of cholera: RIP.
Snow is not the first man to be honoured for valor-ous acts he never accomplished , nor is he the first to have honest, partially successful work transformed into a miraculous success. On the 200th anniversary of Snow's death it is time to acknowledge the glorious failure to accept that Snow's cholera studies were not good enough.
