Abstract

The author reminisces about his training in the '40's, when “everything seemed to be in good order in the house of psychiatry,” and then turns to a philosophical consideration of confusions which have arisen because advancing knowledge inevitably complicates rather than simplifies our understanding of mental health and illness.
