""Since the appearance of the last preceding edition of this manual, nearly 11 years ago, noteworthy progress has been made in psychiatry and allied fields. Special mention may be made of large-scale studies of mental disorders in twins, which have been carried out in Germany, in this country, and elsewhere; and which not only have made possible a more exact estimation of the part played by hereditary and germinal factors in the etiology of mental disorders, but have thrown, as a by-product, and rather unexpectedly, new light on certain non-hereditary factors, particularly cerebral birth injuries. In the light of these studies, some important older contributions have gained a special significance for psychiatry, although they were the results of researches in seemingly foreign fields: obstetrics, pediatrics, and biologic statistics. These and many other contributions of the last 10 or 12 years have had to be embodied in the present edition of this manual, if it was to be brought abreast of the times. This has necessitated not only an enlargement of the book by the addition of new material, but also extensive changes and rearrangements. The author's purpose has remained the same as before: to make a working manual by presenting a description of the material of the psychiatric clinic, and methods of dealing with it--that is to say, techniques of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. This book represents an attempt to give a comprehensive bird's-eye view of the entire field of psychiatry and mental hygiene; but a complete and detailed treatment of any subject dealt with in it has been, of course, quite out of the question. At the end of each chapter the student will find a list of references to original sources. The five main parts of the book are divided as follows: General Psychiatry, Special Psychiatry, The Practice of Psychiatry, Mental Hygiene, and Special Diagnostic procedures"--Preface.

""In preparing the present edition of this "Manual of Psychiatry", it has been the special aim of the editor to make it a working manual. While the more important current theoretical conceptions of the various schools of psychiatry have been given a place in it, the main endeavor has been to present a description of the material of the psychiatric clinic, and methods of dealing with it--that is to say, technique of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Among the additions are to be mentioned chapters or sections dealing with the following subjects: disturbances of nutrition in relation to mental disorders; psychoses associated with lethargic encephalitis; psychoses associated with pellagra; residuals of cerebrospinal meningitis; theory of personality; rest and diet in the treatment of mental disorders; parole system; prevention by eugenic measures; mental disorders of childhood and mental hygiene of childhood; military psychiatry; a state mental hygiene program; group tests of intelligence; educational achievement tests; guide to study of personality; and tables of intelligence quotient values. Also a number of illustrations have been added. The rest of the book has been extensively rewritten and enlarged. A glossary of technical terms has been embodied in the index. This "Manual" is divided into five parts: Part I deals with general psychiatry, comprising etiology and symptomatology. Part II deals with special psychiatry, i.e., with the various clinical entities individually. Part III deals with the practice of psychiatry, comprising methods of investigation, treatment, prevention, and medico-legal problems. Part IV is devoted to technique of special diagnostic procedures. Part V consists of appendices giving the classification of mental disorders officially adopted by the American Psychiatric Association, a number of tables, a glossary, and an index"--Introduction.
