[Review of the book Psychiatry in Industry

Abstract

Reviews the book, Psychiatry in Industry by V. V. Anderson (see record 1929-02797-000 ). From time to time we have heard about Dr. Anderson's personnel work at Macy's department store, and now have an authoritative description of many of his methods and results. The author lays great stress on the clinical and psychiatric approach. This is a wholesome supplement to much that has already been published on more objective employment methods, such as mental tests. He stresses again and again the desirability of cooperation between medical, psychiatric and the psychological experts. The ideal staff for an employment or personnel office as he sees it involves a psychiatrist, a psychologist and psychiatric social worker. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
