We did, during the war, set up an endocrine
clinic as an experiment and we were only able to do so
because I had at the Barking Hospital an officer who
was particularly interested in this special work. I
would wish to put on record I am profoundly impressed
with the need there is to make the results
of recent researches into endocrinology more available
to the public than they are at the present time.
Quite frankly, behaviour is so often intimately
linked with endocrine balance that I look upon the
psychologist as a second line of defence in dealing
with its problems and the endocrinologist as the first
line of defence, although, not of necessity, our chief
defence.
