PEP | Browse | Read - Personality in a Communal Society. An Analysis of the Mental Health of the Hutterites: By Bert Kaplan and Thomas F. A. Plaut. Lawrence, Kansas: University of Kansas Publications, 1956. 116 pp. The interdisciplinary team that studied the mental health of the Hutterites, and whose findings have already been published by Eaton and Weil in Culture and Mental Disorders, has now released another report. The earlier book attempted a survey of Hutterite mental illness and a comparison of the incidence rates with those found in other groups; the present volume deals with the relationship between Hutterite personality and culture. The results, in terms of method and data, are most inadequate.
