Review of The troubled mind

Abstract

Reviews the book, The troubled mind by C. S. Bluemel (1938). The subject of the book is the disturbed and troubled normal human being rather than the pathologically abnormal individual, although all the important psychiatric categories are discussed. Particular attention is given to the psychopath-at-large, with special reference to the social implications of the psychopath's participation in politics. But this emphasis by no means describes the contents. The book is replete with all types of cases of human maladjustment. The advantages of the book are far more imposing than its disadvantages. A fact of considerable importance is the author's psychological orientation as revealed in his evaluation of the effects of learning. The book is a contribution to clinical studies of human behavior.
