Extract

This most important subject, which is likely to affect the whole future of psychiatry, has so far made little progress. Enlightened individuals are beginning to show a way, handicapped by existing law and practice. Some of the most important possible developments are not under the control of those with mental hospital experience, and the diversity of approach and training of those who deal with the different aspects of the subject renders co-ordination still more difficult.
