Download or read book Psychiatry written by Konstantinos N. Fountoulakis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-26 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was the end product of life experiences, thoughts and intellectual wanderings of the author, who through his career and for the last twenty years was always serving all the three aspects of a Psychiatrist: He is a clinician, a researcher and an academic teacher. The book includes a comprehensive history of Psychiatry since antiquity and until today, with an emphasis not only on main events but also specifically and with much detail and explanations, on the chain of events that led to a particular development. At the center of this work is the question ‘What is mental illness?’ and ‘Does free will exist?’. These are questions which tantalize Psychiatrists, neuroscientists, psychologists, philosophers, patients and their families and the sensitive and educated lay persons alike. Thus, the book includes a comprehensive review and systematic elaboration on the definition and the concept of mental illness, a detailed discussion on the issue of free will as well as the state of the art of contemporary Psychiatry and the socio-political currents it has provoked. Finally the book includes a description of the academic, social and professional status of Psychiatry and Psychiatrists and a view of future needs and possible developments. A last moment addition was the chapter on conspiracy theories, as a consequence of the experience with the social media and the public response to the COVID-19 outbreak which coincided with the final stage of the preparation of the book. Their study is an excellent opportunity to dig deep into the relation among human psychology, mental health, the society and politics and to swim in intellectually dangerous waters.

BEERS 304 HYDROTIIKRAPY, OLD AND NEW 448 INTRODUCTION TT IS with deep satisfaction that I introduce this important book to the reading public. If the lessons it teaches are understood and taken to heart by its readers, society will be the authors debtor. Mr. Deutschs book, the preparation of which has been made possible by the American Foundation for Mental Hygiene, might be described in a very few words by saying that it traces the evolution of a cultural pattern as repre sented by the way in which people through the years have thought and felt about the so-called insane. It is an exceed ingly illuminating presentation and because of the dramatic material with which it deals, it may well prove to be a spear head for the penetration of important social facts and the understanding of social processes which, presented with less appealing or less startling illustration, might fail to attract attention. It is altogether fitting that in the presentation of this extraordinary and important story of mans struggles with himself, the illustrations should be taken more particularly from their American setting. In this way the whole matter is brought home to us who live in this country and we see what has actually been taking place, more especially since earlycolonial days, and we can feel that we ourselves are a part of the whole story and that the victories that have been won and the ground that has been gained are assets of which we can avail ourselves. It is always an illuminating pro cedure to trace the path along which we have come, to be come acquainted with the historical forces that are driving us, and their directions, because after all we have to conquer, not by opposing these forces, but by conforming to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At 6:03 p.m. on Tuesday, the 25th of August 1970, Alexander Marcel Andre Sebastian Barker Bailiff was born to protect the Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia, Governor General of Australia, President of International Commission of Jurists, and three hundred and seventy million indigenous people from the Popes. The sooner officials get the Australian Federal Police statement, the sooner they can use it to call a Royal Commission into the negligence of the Chief Justice, so they can argue he was negligent in the Mabo judgement, which is a 4-3 decision. The Mabo judgement is the native title case. So, I have to sue 1,777 police commissioners, directors of public prosecutions, ombudsmen, administrators of Northern Territory governors, governors-general, members of legislative assembly, members of legislative council, members of house of representatives, senators, and senior officers of higher education in Australia. Whilst I am doing this, 250 people apply for restraining orders, and 200 arrests occur. I become friends with the retired Chief Justice of the High Court, Sir Anthony Frank Mason, while he establishes a Hong Kong Final Court of Appeal and becomes a judge for 20 years. I said, "Whilst it is significant the Chief Justice of the High Court has been negligent for 7 years in his written judgements, I think what is more significant is the fact 7 ministers from both the Labour Party and Liberal Party have been significant for 7 years in their administration of violated legislation." I also said that no matter how hard life was, Vanessa Camille Bayliss always protected me, so no matter what I have taken appropriate steps to protect, as that is the right thing to do. Sir Anthony Frank Mason says, "I appreciate you protecting me." I get the Pope's apology to China and the Pope's apology to Oceania and establish the Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court of Appeal 2001 and make a United Nations case.
