Review
The originality of Technicians of the Finite results from its probing, dialectical analysis of a vast and far-ranging body of secondary and, especially, primary materials. It is a fascinating contribution to the sociology of knowledge and to the history of a central and stubborn problem in the American psychiatric community. Historians and psychiatrists alike should be grateful to Professor Fullinwider for an impressive achievement.Merle Curti, Professor Emeritus of History, University of Wisconsin
