Excerpt from Case Histories in Abnormal Psychology This assemblage of case histories grew out of the author's desire to supply his classes in army psychology with a greater variety of abnormal reaction types than was provided by their introductory textbook. The cases are used to illustrate and objectify assigned chapters in a standard textbook of abnormal psychology. Limited study-time of the student cadets made it unfeasible for them to read them in their original settings of exposition and discussion. Because of limited space we were unable to include any of the longer epitomies. That is regrettable. As a rule, they are more illuminating than the short, relatively incomplete cases. Also, for reasons which need not be considered here, there is some unevenness in coverage of the fundamental reaction types. Some of these disadvantages can and should be offset by the instructor's presenting supplementary cases in lecture or recitation periods. To others who may use this case book, it may be added that the instructor should be well acquainted with all of the source books from which the cases are taken in order that he may supply, as needed, each author's point of view as expressed in the original text. The author wishes especially to acknowledge his gratitude to the publishers who own copyrights on the text materials herein reproduced for the privilege of quotation. At appropriate places in the book, specific acknowledgments will be made. Authors and titles appear in the bibliography at the end.
