Opis

Originally published in 1951, the implications of this book are far wider and deeper than its title suggests. The book is really a psychiatric criticism of normality based upon a chosen item of typically normal behaviour. It is, however, written in a way that will be easily understood by every intelligent reader.

Recenzje

‘Dr Berg, with a wealth of relevant allusion, literary, biological, and anthropological, proves convincingly that hair is not only a prominent link in the chain which forges personality, but that it is also one of the most significant features in the psychopathology of everyday life.’ – Medical World
