BOOK REVIEW “When the hamstrung administrator starts looking for his tormentor, he will be smart to look in the nearest mirror, since frustration is a state of mind and therefore strictly a product of the individual’s own thinking,” wrote Professor Ray E. Brown in his new book entitled Judgment in Administration. “It is intended,” wrote the author in the “Preface,” ‘.‘that the book be a very practical treatment of a very practical sub ject.” The hardbound volume, published as a part of the ]\IcGraw Hill series in Management, contains intriguing chapters heads that invite the reader to peruse its pages. Several of the head ings read as follow; “Stress Can Distress Good Judgment,” “The Perfectionist in Administration Often Reaps Imperfec tion,” “The Fear of Losing Can Take the Joy Out of Winning,” “Feelings Are a Common Cause of Failings,” “Success Does Not Ahvays Come from Succeeding,” and “The Administrator’s Best Skills Sometimes Become His Greatest Handicaps.” The author is professor of hospital administration and direc tor of the Duke University Graduate Program in Hospital Admin istration.
