"Lunbeck has found a fascinating archive [at the Boston Psychopathic Hospital]
and she has read it meticulously.... The story of the men and women who transformed

to a twentieth-century human science ... is told here with more detail, more
immediacy and more insight than ever before."--The New York Times Book Review.
