Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Compendium of InsanityAs an aid to consciousness there is that quality which has been called attention, or the power of concentration, by means of which im prints become fixed and ideas take definite form. It is largely acquired and developed by exercise and mental discipline. An overworked person will sometimes say the mind does not act, by which it may be understood that the ability to apply the faculty of attention and selection is in abeyance or is impaired.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CONDITIONS OF RESEARCH IN PSYCHIATRY. IN considering the conditions under which research in psychiatry is likely to be rewarded by success, we are at once met with the query, Have the conscious efforts of man or have accident and necessity heretofore been preponderant factors in fortuitous discoveries? Some philosophers contend that all conscious research is misdirected, wasteful, extravagant and unproductive expenditure of energy, that it is the whole duty of civilization to utilize the discoveries that accidently and spontaneously eventuate in the course of the ordinary affairs of life. There can be little doubt that most of the discoveries which gave man the power to rise from animalism to savagery, from savagery to barbarism and from barbarism to the beginning of civilization, were fortuitous accidents; but thereafter, on account of the complex field of science, and especially as it concerns us, of the complex field of pathology, advances have been made and they may be expected to result only on well-planned and conscious research by well organ, ized and well-trained squads of engineers in research. It is an undoubted fact that the earliest and most conspicuous advances of the human mind into the dark continent of ignorance and of the unknown have been wholly accidental and uncontemplated. Such accidental discoveries are still going on, but it is also a fact that during the last hundred years at least, conscious and purposeful researches have been undertaken and new and valuable discoveries, which never could be- disclosed by any conceivable accident, have been made with the aid of the systematic and orderly arrangement of facts previously discovered by necessity and accident alone. It is said that the gourd or woven reed basket was first covered with clay solely to pr..

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Insanity, 1862-3, Vol. 19 To whatever extent we fall short of restoring our patients to sound health of body, to a similar or greater extent will mental recovery fall short. Constant and exact observation of the general health of the incurable insane, and a rigid investigation of the diseases under which they finally succumb, must be of high impor tance to us, in enabling us in numerous instances to detect those negations of curability, which ultimately interpose their veto upon all our hopes and promises. We have become famil iar with several physical complications, whose detection even at the very outset of insanity, or before mental aberration has yet been evinced, proclaim to us but too unmistakably, the utter hopelessness of the cases in which we observe them general paralysis, epilepsy, injuries of the brain, advanced organized lesions of the heart, the lungs, or of any other im portant organ, hardly fail to assure us of the incurability of their associated mental disease. It would seem but little to affect our prognosis whether the brain itself - that organ to which we are wont to ascribe immediate or sole mental sove reignty - is or is not directly implicated; its functional integ rity, whether primarily or only by reflex agency, impaired, will not be reconstructed so long as any lethal condition exists in any other important part of the system. Of all the morbid complications Of incurable insanity, none is perhaps more extensively present, or more certainly fatal, than pulmonary tubercular phthisis. Esquirol estimated that in one out of every four persons becoming insane, thoracic disease exists. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of Insanity It must be clearly understood, moreover, that no attempt has been made to cover the whole field of insanity. On the contrary, certain sections of that field have been more or less arbitrarily selected, mainly on the ground that they yield fruitful results to psychological methods of investigation. I confidently anticipate that. In the future these methods will have a far wider application, but in the present state of our knowledge it must be frankly admitted that there are whole tracts of insanity in which they have only a very limited utility. This confession is all the more necessary on account of the tendency to unduly extensive generalisation evident in the work of many recent investigators. In View of the enormous complexity of mental processes, and the youthfulness ofpsychology, it is best to realise that progress must inevitably be slow, and that we must be content to feel our way to the scientific laws of the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insanity and Disease When it was asked of Aristotle, What is Beauty he replied, A blind man's question. It can not be denied that this answer was as perfect in its logic as in its wit. Beauty exists only as it is seen, and in the seeing. He who has the sense of vision knows what it is, and no definition can add to that knowledge. The blind man may indeed reasonably ask in what beauty consists, but for him an answer must always be impossible. By the same 1eason ing, it is plain, I might prove to you that, What 1s Insanity Z is a lunatic's question. To the sound mind, insanity is known as a judgment from the appearance of disorder 1n the looks, words and actions of another. In the partially insane mind, it is a conscious ness of disorder in certain directions of thought or feeling. The wholly insane alone have no knowledge of it in themselves or others, nor can have any. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A d104-Book of Insanity and Other Mental Diseases This book was primarily intended for the use of students of medicine, as an introduction to the study of insanity, to give them a general notion of' the subject without going much into detail, and incidentally to be of use to them in examinations. In this object it succeeded so far that it became, I am told, the text-book in use in most of the Universities. It was not intended as an advanced book for those who make a special study of insanity, and in this respect also it has not disappointed its author, for the novel doctrines contained in it do not appear to have become known to them yet.
