Russ T (2014) Hangover Square by Patrick Hamilton. Advances in Psychiatric Treatment, 20: 247–9.

On p., the first quotation in the second column should read:

‘Like a camera. But instead of an exposure having been made the opposite had happened – an inclosure – a shutting down, a locking in. A moment before his head, his brain, were out in the world, seeing, hearing, sensing objects directly; now they were enclosed behind glass (like Crown jewels, like Victorian wax fruit), behind a film – the film of the camera, perhaps, to continue the photographic analogy – a film behind which all things and people moved eerily, without colour, vivacity or meaning, grimly, puppet-like, without motive or conscious volition of their own…

A moment before his mind had heard and answered: now he was mentally deaf and dumb: he was in on himself – his mute, numbed self’ (Hamilton 1941: p. 165).
