Extract

It has been calculated that over one-third of the total number of cases receiving sickness benefit have some form of nervous disorder (1), and 1 of 22 persons has to be placed in a mental hospital at one time or another (Carrel, 2). Social prejudice, however, still bars adequate support of psychiatric research, and much scientific work is hampered through lack of financial help.
