Extract

Since psychiatry is that branch of medicine which deals with disorders of the psyche, it must inevitably include in its study the nature and activities of that which is thus disordered; it will therefore be granted that advances not only in scientific, but also in metaphysical, aesthetic and religious knowledge, must be of prime importance for the psychiatrist, since these are indubitably concerned with the activities of the psyche.
