Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mental Health of the Community and the Work of the Psychiatric Dispensary
Indigestion and headache may be mental disorders just as truly as are morbid phantasies and distorted attitudes; it depends on their origin.
The mental out-patient department or psychiatric dispensary of a hospital deals with symptoms of mental origin, whether the symptoms are called physical or mental.
The psychiatric dispensary will be of the greatest value to the community when physicians and social workers who come into contact with cases of mental disorder or defect know the type of work done there.
The teacher who promptly secures a psychiatric opinion on her subnormal and neurotic pupils, develops deeper insight into her own special educational task.
