Abstract
THE author of this book is quite evidently better equipped for discerning the social-psychological problems of our times than he is for elaborating the solutions to those problems. Indeed, his suggested solutions, apart from certain valuable exceptions, are inspired by a pathetically child-like confidence in the omnicompetence of the State. He offers no grounds to support his implied contention that the State itself is immune from those psychological ills from which the people as a whole are suffering.
