A collection of symposium contributions from psychiatrists, psychologists, ethnologists, and sociologists aimed at promoting lively discussion and effective communication, but the volume largely fails to achieve meaningful exchange. Discussions are tangential and lack coherence; the described experiments lack sound design and rely on subjective evaluations without substantiation. One participant noted that the work reflects only impressions of the doctors' unconscious minds. Although some cogent ideas appear, they are lost in confusion, making the volume of questionable value.
