Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: good. First Edition. Octavo, [xvi], 280 pages, cloth; dj chipped, archival repairs "Unfamiliar and startling ideas appear here in familiar and humorous form. And the humor of the cartoonists gains a new depth and meaning. In the first part, the psychiatric spyglass is turned on the average human being. The middle part accurately shows what is known, and what is not, about mental health and illness. And in the last part the spyglass is reversed, and turned on the psychiatrists themselves. Here is the book explaining psychiatry for which you have been waiting - clear, amusing, short, easy to read." Illustrated with 100 cartoons by these masters and more: Charles Addams, Peter Arno, George Baker, Berenstain, Cobean, Abner Dean, Sydney Hoff, Hank Ketcham, Kovarsky, Ed Nofziger, Virgil Partch, O. Soglow, Saul Steinberg, James Thurber. Note: This book opens with an Rx from Fritz Redlich, M.D. who advises, " 1. Look at the cartoons and enjoy them as much as you can. 2. Read the text when you feel like it, allowing it to combine with the cartoons in arousing your own memories and feelings. 3. Let some time pass. 4. Look at the cartoons again. You may know more about them and yourself and enjoy them even more. 5. For anyone interested in human problems." Note: The Layman's Preface discusses for pages the whys and wherefores of the inclusion of cartoons in this humorously serious book. Chapter I is "The Key to Laughter: Repression".…
