Opis

First published in 1948 Dr Berg had an extraordinary flair for presenting a difficult subject in a most realistic and attractive manner, without sacrifice of scientific essentials. In spite of its novel and entertaining method of exposition, the book covers a surprisingly wide field – the whole field of clinical psychology – and more.
