Director present:
Coming to the Rescue or None of My

for one another and protecting ones own against strangers? What
is the impact of taking action vs. passivity, not only on those
involved but also on the character of the community which they
make up? This is the interface in which individual psychology
and values accumulate into social psychiatry and psychology.
This Lindemann Lecture explores this interface from
psychological, historical, and public safety points of vie
implications for community mental health and, inevitably, social
values.
