    Mental hygiene came into being as a result of the appearance of Clifford Beers’ A Mind that Found Itself. Since this is one of the most significant books ever written, many readers will wish to read k after finishing Understanding Yourself.

Kirkpatrick’s and Morgan’s books have a somewhat similar purpose to Understanding Yourself, but the material is pre¬ sented very differently. White’s auto-biographical sketch al¬ though far too brief, is something that the reader is urged not to miss. It is indispensable to those who want to know the background of our present mental hygiene movement. 2 The Physical Basis of Personality. (Chapters II-V.) * Adler, Alfred. The Neurotic Constitution.
