Provides psychological and psychiatric insight to criminal behavior by exploring criminology as a science and the human mind in relation to crime. Specifically addresses heredity and environment as causes of crime, and juvenile and war delinquency.

Originally published in 1951, More About Psychiatry invites readers deeper into the evolving world of psychiatry. Writing with clarity, compassion, and a deep respect for the human mind, Binger demystifies the psychiatric profession for the general reader, offering insights into the emotional and psychological struggles that shaped people's lives at the time. Drawing on real-world cases and decades of clinical experience, Binger explores the roots of mental illness, the role of the psychiatrist, and the therapeutic relationship between doctor and patient. He addresses common misconceptions, the impact of early life experiences, and the growing importance of mental health in modern society. Today it can be read in its historical context. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1951. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.

Product description Book by Fine, Reuben From Publishers Weekly Proposing that "psychoanalysis is a theory of happiness ," more philosophy than science, Fine ( The Intimate Hour ) documents and explains the pervasive presence of analytic tenets, ideas and values current in global society. His stance as apologist ("Generally people nowadays approach Freud with a negative transference") is evident in his views on homosexuality, in his opposition to the "remedicalization" of psychiatry and his support of non-medical analysts. Chapters on love distinguish romantic infatuation from "normal" or "mature" love; others attempt to approach changing views of sexuality and job satisfaction, including the move of women into the marketplace, from a historical perspective. While the study is valuable in its documentation of psychoanalysis's growth and development, Fine's overview of today's society seems scattershot, dated, arbitrary and occasionally unreliable, as in his interpretation of Erica Jong's phrase "zipless fuck."
