Extract

The teaching that the brain is the organ of the mind is not often referred to by psychiatrists, no doubt because of the relatively barren results which followed attempts to link up psycho-pathological theories with neurological facts. It is, however, I think, essential that we should keep this fundamental doctrine in the forefront of our minds, and that we should remember that some day an anatomical or a pathological verification may be required for our psychological or psycho-pathological theories.
