Extract

The object of this paper is two-fold. First, it is a protest against the widely-spread notion that nearly all insanity is due to direct neurotic heredity; secondly, I wish to point out my belief that as much insanity depends upon surrounding conditions, so the general treatment by conditions rather than by drugs is the more reasonable and more efficacious.
