1. Pareto's analysis of the mutual dependence between the individual and society is readily applicable to the work of the psychiatrist.
2. His treatise is a scientific work, based upon wide knowledge and experience in mathematics, physics, engineering, economics, and history.
3. The breadth of its scope is such that it affords invaluable sociological training to the psychiatrist.
4. Pareto's conceptual schema has been found remarkably effective in use as an aid in clarifying thought and in the specification of problems.
5. It makes possible the furtherance of the psychiatrist's thought to an important domain beyond that considered by Meyer.
