ABSTRACT

The book divides patients up into social classes as measured by occupation, education and home address. The class and cultural stratification of New Haven would in some ways seem more rigid than an English county. Likewise, the division between the analytically orientated psychotherapist, and the general psychiatrist whose outlook is called " directive-organic", seems rather sharper than the comparable division that exists in this country. The book is concerned not only with the description and types of mental illness in the different classes, but also with the sorts of treatment that are obtained and how much they cost in the different classes. Some of the correlations are of course what one would
