ABSTRACT

This is our major problem in social psychiatry: to learn how to keep these United States from becoming in long periods of peace a conglomeration of disunited states of mind and heart.

—Lawrence Kubie, M.D., 1943, Psychiatry and the War

In the field of mental health, most attention has been given to psychotherapy; some to mental hygiene, but very little as yet to the design of a whole culture which will foster healthy personalities.
