'...a study of schizoid and schizophrenic persons; its basic purpose is to make madness, and the process of going mad, comprehensible....the book should not be judged in terms of what it does not attempt to do. Specifically, no attempt is made to present a comprehensive theory of schizophrenia....to explore constitutional and organic aspects....to describe my own relationship with these patients, or my own method of therapy. A further purpose is to give in plain English an account, in existential terms, of some forms of madness. In this I believe it to be the first of its kind.' --Preface
