"This warmly human and humorous autobiography offers an easy, delightful and intelligent introduction to psychiatry, from the practicing psychiatrist's point of view…a most engrossing book."
Cincinnati Times
"It is unlikely that laymen could find anywhere else such lively and enlightening explanations of schizophrenia, manic-depression, paranoia, the significant of Freud, the technique of analysis, the uses of hypnotism and the meaning of dreams…And all these matters are expounded with colloquial informality, with salty humor and with interest and highly condensed case histories."
