Bücher von Walter Bromberg

?This is a satisfying book, filled with good detail, written with good perspective. Bromberg's simple thesis is that psychiatry seems to advance in spectacular spurts' and that the period following World War I, lasting until World War II saw the veritable burgeoning of psychiatry.' ... While this is a personal' book ... the author has taken great pains to be a good and fair observer, to be one who arrays facts and gives occasional opinions but who also notes contrary notions and is open to having his observations interpreted in other ways. ... A bibliographic essay on psychiatric literature of the period plus a carefully prepared index round out the volume.?-Journal of the History of Medicine

From his wealth of experience, [he] has compiled an informative volume, useful to both the legal practitioner and the psychiatric witness. ... Regardless of the reader's bias, he or she will find this book a source of stimulating ideas and practical approaches to answering legal questions which depend upon psychiatric explanations."-New England Law Review
