literature and only a psychologist thoroughly conversant with the literature would be able to differentiate between what is Dr. Johnson's personal opinion and what is valid scientific information. Dr. Johnson is evidently a keen observer of human nature and has demonstrated keen ingenuity in applying the theory of general semantics to personal problems, hence his observations are genuinely stimulating and have empirical value as coming from one who is a trained scientific ob- server. However, the reader will find it necessary to constantly maintain a critical attitude in differentiating between personal opinion and scientific fact. It is not within the scope of this review to comment upon the numerous statements which appear to represent only the author's personal opinions and which are occasionally at variance with other scientifically accepted viewpoints. In spite of these defects in conception and organization, this book represents a valuable advance in the evolution of our thinking in the field of semantics and makes a genuine contribution to basic theory in clinical psychology and psychiatry.
