ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. (AP) — Every person suffers some form of mental illness at some time during his life, Dr. Nathan W. Ackerman, associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, said here.
Dr. Ackerman told the National Conference of Jewish Communal Service that it is virtually impossible to prevent mental disease unless a healthy formula for human relations is found.
He warned that as a result of “our utter failure to face the challenge of human relations, we gamble with the risk of total destruction.”
Human relations, Dr. Ackerman said, are in a state of turbulence today, thus explaining the “immense present-day preoccupation with psychiatry and mental hygiene.
“The danger (of total destruction) mounts steadily” in the world of the atom bomb, he declared.
