Inquiries in Psychiatry: Clinical and Social Investigations

Résumé du livre

"To mark his retirement from the Professorship of Psychiatry at the University of London, and the directorship of the Institute of Psychiatry, the Maudsley Hospital, Professor Lewis' students have edited and prepared for the press an edition of his collected papers, in two volumes. This volume reports the outcome of research in a variety of fields. Of the numerous clinical investigations, those into depressive states are dealt with most fully. Social studies, which have been the main concern of the Medical Research Council Unit of which Professor Lewis was for seventeen years Honorary Director, deal with themes of unemployment, environmental adjustment, and ecology." -- dust jacket
