Description and Table of Contents

Description

A study of unusual behaviour, this book explores the boundaries between eccentricity and insanity. It presents studies of eccentrics, some who were regarded as geniuses and others who did not conform to society's "standard" patterns of behaviour. Psychiatrists such as R.D. Laing also contribute.
