Extract

Clinical psychiatry is at present passing through a period of transition; to this two influences have largely contributed:

  1. (1) The adoption of the biochemical theory of the origin of disease as a working hypothesis in our speculation and investigation.

  2. (2) The recognition by the clinician that he must study each case as a whole, and suspend judgment until he has all the facts of the alienation, onset, course and termination before him.
