At the time that he released that book, 1961, we didn’t understand the brain like we did now. For example, we couldn’t identify mental illnesses in autopsy’s. Now we can. Mental illness is now physically measureable in the brain. His book is based on science of the brain for its time. He was trying to explain why the science is how it is…in his own time. You can’t go around parading that book in 2024 with what we have discovered today.
