Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nursing Mental Diseases This book makes its appearance in response to many requests that the writer put into more available form the subject matter of her classes with nurses. Mental symptoms in some form and degree are so likely to appear in almost any of the disorders of physical function and are so frequently met in the wards of a general hospital, where too often they are overlooked and misinterpreted by nurses whose training has not included this important study, that many patients are undoubtedly misunderstood and made more miserable and unhappy, and not infrequently in the course of somatic disease grave mental symptoms develop which demand special nursing procedures. It is most desirable that the training in mental nursing be received in a hospital for mental patients, where all types of mental disorders are represented and all grades of symptoms may be noted, and where the larger groups give a more outstanding picture of the various types. The writer's method has been to precede the course in Mental Diseases with a review of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system and a brief summary of some of the principles of psychology which explain mental function; to follow each lecture, given by a physician, with a class in which the subject matter of the lecture has been reviewed and the nursing measures applied. Symptoms have been carefully reviewed and emphasized, for, as an eminent physician has said, "While signs are the province of the doctor, symptoms are in a peculiar way that of the nurse" and their observation and recognition are an important part of the nurse's training.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nursing the Insane A large number of the population of every State hospital is composed of chronic and presumably incurable cases, but many are susceptible of marked mental improvement, and some of recovery. These patients make up a large community of peculiar and trying persons. To deal with them wisely and kindly requires exceptional qualities of mind and character. The training of nurses and attendants for these patients must cover a much wider field than is comprised in the course of the ordinary trained nurse. The nurse for the insane must be prepared to care for the ordinary medical and surgical diseases of her patients, in addition to their mental ailments; for insanity does not exempt them from the other ills that flesh is heir to. She must safeguard them from injuring themselves or others, must possess many of the qualities that make a good teacher, since a part of her duty is to help correct faults in early train ing and development, and to encourage and train to correct and useful habits and proper behavior; she has also to employ and entertain her patients, under the direction of the medical officers; and to her is intrusted that almost constant association and companionship which, if sympathetic and judicious, is one of the most potent means of restoring her charges to mental health.

This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Clinical Manual of Mental Diseases Realizing the urgent needs of the medical student and of the practising physician, this book, which is based upon the annual course of lectures delivered by the author at the Jefferson Medical College, has been prepared from a purely practical point of view. In the classification, general arrangement and descriptions, the author has endeavored to present the sub ject in a simple and yet thorough manner, and, at the same time, to keep the volume within the limits of a convenient manual. Emphasis has been laid upon the clinical pictures presented, upon prognosis, and upon treatment. It is the general practitioner, the family physician, who sees the pa tient first, and he should be sufficiently informed to be able to recognize mental diseases in their early stages. He should know What to do under given conditions, when to commit and when not to commit a patient to an asylum, and how the patient should be treated in his own home or elsewhere outside of an institution when this is practicable.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nursing and Care of the Nervous and the Insane IN the present edition of this work the author, with the assistance of Dr. Yawger, has endeavored to bring it more nearly up to date. Such a book cannot be regarded as giving all the information necessary to be known by nurses concerning patients suffering from nervous and mental maladies. Useful anatomical and physiological data are to be found in the volumes upon anatomy prepared for nurses and in more general treatises. The book is chiefly intended to recall facts regarding nursing obtained by experience. Attention has been particularly directed to some new facts regard ing epilepsy, fibrositis and insanity. New illustrations of the charts and the apparatus most useful in electrical practice have been added. The unusually fine motor point plates from Dr. Toby Cohn's excellent work on Electro-diagnosis and Electro-therapeutics have been obtained through the courtesy of the author and his publishers. Instruction regarding hydrotherapy, not included in previous editions, has been incorpo rated. The author trusts that the book in its revised form will be found more useful than previous editions.

This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pathology and Therapeutics of Mental Diseases The Utrecht Professor, J. L. C. Schroeder van der Kolk (the renovator of the Dutch Institution for the Insane), whose death took place early in May, 1862, was long occupied with the plan of comparing together his physiological studies and his practical experience of mental diseases in order to lay them before the public. But as so often happens in life, he yet needed some special inducement to enter upon the work, and the occasion presented itself in the autumn of 1861, when two students of medicine in Utrecht, Herr P. Templeman van der Hoeven, and the undersigned, from the want of a psychiatric clinic at our University, betook themselves to Schroeder van der Kolk, with a request to be introduced under his guidance into the domain of Mental Diseases. He readily acceded to our request, and immediately arranged that we should come to his study twice a week, when he would read to us what he had elaborated for his book, and converse with us thereupon. We have thus seen the book arise, have recognised its object, and we are aware of the value the author set on it, and of how much time and trouble it had cost him. He accomplished the undertaking with assiduous zeal, as if he felt that his career was hastening to its end, and that he must bestir himself to complete the crowning work of his literary activity. Death, indeed, overtook him while engaged in this labour, but he previously expressed his wish-that the work should be published. My friend, Dr. H. W. Schroeder van der Kolk, then paid me the compliment of entrusting to me the fulfilment of his father's wish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The landmark book that argued that psychiatry consistently expands its definition of mental illness to impose its authority over moral and cultural conflict.” — New York Times The 50th anniversary edition of the most influential critique of psychiatry every written, with a new preface on the age of Prozac and Ritalin and the rise of designer drugs, plus two bonus essays. Thomas Szasz's classic book revolutionized thinking about the nature of the psychiatric profession and the moral implications of its practices. By diagnosing unwanted behavior as mental illness, psychiatrists, Szasz argues, absolve individuals of responsibility for their actions and instead blame their alleged illness. He also critiques Freudian psychology as a pseudoscience and warns against the dangerous overreach of psychiatry into all aspects of modern life.
