This small book of 122 pages, marks the beginning of a new era in social medicine. It is the result of lectures given in America by the author.

It is disappointing to find that the author refers in the Preface to the need for psychological and sociological studies, and of " balancing the emotional with the rational components of a developing social conscience ", but makes little reference at all to mental health in the book except by the implication that psychological medicine and its allied disciplines have reached a certain agreement on some fundamentals and show their differences
