The MacCurdy Psychopathology Library

 

Established from the personal books of Dr John Thomson MacCurdy, 1886-1947.

 

Dr MacCurdy was Cambridge University Lecture in Psychopathology from 1923-1947. In his will, he left money "for the provision and maintenance of the collection of psychopathological work."

 

This wonderful specialist collection contains the principal works in psychoanalysis and psychopathology from early twentieth century. 

The books located in the MacCurdy Room are open shelf and you can borrow them using the self-check computer. The books located in "Store", which are part of our rare books collection, are reference only.
