The Driving Forces of Human Nature
MENTAL HEALTH 53
- Author:
Dom Thomas Verner Moore, O.S.B., Ph.D., M.D.
Wm. Heinemann Medical Books. 35s.
This book by a Roman Catholic Professor of Psychiatry and psychology is written in the usual forceful way expected of Dom Thomas Moore.
Unlike the book Christianity after Freud, also reviewed in these columns, it is much more dogmatic and pre-supposes an unquestioning acceptance of the principles of the Christian faith. The figures dealing with mental ill-health in selected populations, and relating them to the average in the community, are particularly revealing.
This may be the last book we shall have from the vigorous pen of Dom Thomas, as it is understood that he has now entered a Trapist monastery. A.T.
