About This Item
New York: Signet Books, 1964. Mass Market Paperback. Good. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. spine crease, some edge wear, light soiling; A Scathing Satire On Psychology, Identity Theory And Class Prejudice -- herewith Cards of Identity. The plot centers on an annual meeting of the Identity Club, a group of psychologists who come together to present "case histories" promoting their chosen theory of identity. These case studies (three of which are presented in the novel) are not scientific treatises, but fictional representations of characters in line with the author's biases. In fact, members of the Club aren't allowed to interact with actual patients when creating their stories. Surrounding this meeting is the equally bizarre story of the local townspeople, who are brainwashed and transformed into servants for the convention, and who end the book with a show-stopping Shakespearian play.
