The purpose of this book is to write about abnormal people in a way that will be valuable and interesting to new to the subject. A first course in abnormal psychology is not intended to train specialists. Its goal is more general: it should provide the student with the opportunity to whet his interest, expand his horizons, register a certain body of new facts, and relate what he learns to the rest of his knowledge about mankind. The value of a course in abnormal psychology is not limited to those who plan to become professional workers with troubled people. We try here to present the subject in such a way as to emphasize its usefulness to all students of human nature.
