Human Nature in Light of Psychopathology

Goldstein's "Human nature" is a brief and highly readable account of the holistic approach to human psychopathology. Particular emphasis is given to the large body of clinical data amassed by the author throughout three decades of research. Considerable emphasis is given to the author's dichotomy of concrete as opposed to abstract behavior, and a wide range of illustrative material is presented, recruited largely from the behavior of brain-injured patients.
