“I read my father's copy of this book as a child and it influenced the rest of my life; in fact it was the greatest influence on my life."

"A leader in the treatment and prevention of mental illness, Karl Augustus Menninger, along with his family founded one of the world's most renowned psychiatric clinics in his hometown of Topeka, Kansas. The distinguished Menninger, often called the dean of American psychiatry was also a best-selling author whose landmark books, The Human Mind and Man Against Himself, celebrated the need for individuals to have self-respect and self-understanding and introduced psychiatry to a vast audience."

"This is a classic text that will give you the basics that a psychiatrist or psychologist knows regarding human behavior. Menninger digs deep into his clinical practice and provides ample examples to illustrate points covered in the text. You may find yourself in some of the syndromes but cast the likeness aside and choose Menninger's perspective on the balanced human mind instead. Creatively, descriptively written."
