Extract

Dr. Petrie's paper is mainly descriptive of American psychiatric institutions, and deals only briefly in its conclusion with his impressions of American psychiatry in its various fields. My paper, however, deals principally with the latter subject and avoids the former as much as possible. It is also my duty to report on my mission as the representative of the London County Council and of the Royal Medico-Psychological Association at the First International Congress on Mental Hygiene.
