About this book and this copy

Yes. The complete 252-page PDF, EPUB, and Kindle downloads directly from this page (19.9 MB). There is no signup, no account and no paywall.
How long is Psychiatry and Responsibility?

Is Psychiatry and Responsibility in the public domain?
Believed so. US works published between 1932 and 1963 kept copyright past 28 years only if someone filed a renewal, and no renewal for this work was found in the Catalog of Copyright Entries. That is a search result rather than a legal opinion: a renewal filed under a shortened title or a different claimant would not have been found. Some copies carry a rights notice, which records the original claim and does not extend a term that lapsed.
Who wrote Psychiatry and Responsibility?
Helmut Schoeck (1922โ€“1993) was an Austrian-German sociologist and writer best known for his work Envy: A Theory of Social Behavior. This archive holds 4 of Schoeck's works.
