From this book it is needed to begin an acquaintance with psychiatry and psychology. In "Introduction" Eric Берн tells a simple and maximum clear language: as a human psyche is arranged, that influences on her forming, what stages of development are passed by a baby and as they afterwards affect his life, that is dreams and neuroses, which the hidden reasons of alcoholism are, propensities to disorderly connections, protracted depressions - and other great deal. Work of Bern until now is legally considered one of the completest and enthralling textbooks on psychiatry and psycho-analysis. It is a book to that it is desirable to return over and over, extending the picture of the world and submerging in the enthralling world of human psyche.
