[Review of the book Leopold and Loeb

Abstract

Reviews the book, Leopold and Loeb by Maurice Urstein (see record 1925-10499-000 ). A re-arrangement of the author's descriptions of what he terms catatonia (what Bleuler terms schizophrenia) is given from his previous monographic publications and incidents from the court-room behavior and developmental life of the two murderers used to show how they were presumably driven by the same psychosis. Aside from the title Leopold and Loeb are very incidental figures. No attempt has been made to relate the case to psychoanalysis. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
