The Madness in Sports: Psychosocial Observations on Sports [*SIGNED*]

(price-clipped) [solid copy, light shelfwear, some very slight fading to black cloth, faint remnants of erased pencil notes at various places in the text; the jacket is nice-looking, with just light wear to the extremities and a bit of soiling and scuffing to the rear panel (NOTE that this jacket was transferred from another copy of the book)]. SIGNED and DATED (Mar. 8, 1968) by the author on the ffep. "Now a noted psychiatrist has written a brilliantly perceptive study of the factors underlying this potent force in our national life. Dr. Beisser's new book encompasses the entire scope of the sports world, [examining] not only the athlete but the audience as well. A large portion of this book consists of case studies. All but one of these deal with professional or highly skilled amateur athletes whose problems are closely related to an excessive dependence on sports. In discussing these cases Dr. Beisser examines thoroughly the positive as well as the destructive aspects of sports." Signed by Author
