Abstract: | Reviews the book, Psychoneuroimmunology edited by R. Ader (1981). In this important book, the editor has attempted for the first time to present to the reader a comprehensive picture of the state of knowledge in this area. In this he has succeeded admirably. Ader has brought together virtually all of the major contributors in experimental psychoneuroimmunology. The authors collectively manage to cover all aspects of this multifaceted problem, in most cases in a critical manner. It is to be hoped and expected that this important book which represents a milestone in this field, will open up the area to new investigators from the different disciplines.
