Type Psychology: Its Importance in Mental Hospital Practice
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2018
Extract
When a patient is admitted to a mental hospital his condition is investigated from a number of angles. His physical state is ascertained, including the condition of his blood and his cerebro spinal fluid; he may be found to exhibit such and such a neuro logical symptom. His mental state is probed into, his intelligence estimated, his emotional reactions noted, his complexes even may be progressively dug up. As a crowning summit to this edifice of knowledge a label is at last attached to the case, and a diagnosis arrived at.
