Books like Secret societies by David Macdill
David Macdill’s *Secret Societies* offers a non‑partisan analysis of the objectionable aspects of secret groups, including their secrecy, oaths, promises, and perceived profanation of holy matters. The author argues that even though such societies have ancient origins—dating back to Egypt, India, Greece, Rome, and other pagan cultures—this history does not establish their utility or harmlessness. Macdill contends that the alleged evil nature of these organizations, such as fostering secrecy and exclusiveness, can be understood through a sociological lens. The work aims to prompt further consideration of the social and moral implications of secret associations without bias or personal hostility.

This book presents a clear and in-depth account of abnormal psychology. It focuses on both clinical descriptions, using illustrative case studies at the beginning of each section, and on the implications of the major theoretical perspectives and relevant empirical evidence for clinical treatment. It provides a very readable and up-to-date review of topics including childhood behaviour disorders, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, personality disorders and models of abnormal behaviour.
