by Eric Berne ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 22, 1947

A simplified explanation of psychiatry for the layman, this illustrates each point with a mythical case history and will fascinate all those interested in the current trend of finding out more about ourselves.

The appendices contain discussions of such pertinent questions as ""What about intuition- extra-sensory glossary and bibliography, this gives a good general introduction to the subject.
