Everybody concerned, however, agreed that there was material in it of considerable value to social workers and psychiatrists which should be published. The author therefore undertook a third revision, rewriting the entire work so as to retain and amplify the material of value to civilian practice. It is this final revision that now appears"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
