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.

This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Insanity written by Henry Putnam Stearns and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insanity: Its Causes and Prevention It is something more than two years since I read a paper, entitled "The Insane Diathesis," at a meeting of the Connecticut Medical Society. The numerous requests received for copies of that article have led me to think that something more in detail in relation to the prevention of insanity might be desired by the reading public both lay and professional. Hence this little book. It has not been written for specialists exclusively, though it is hoped it will not prove wholly uninteresting to them, but rather for those in the general practice of medicine, educators, and the more intelligent lay members of society. It has been written during odd snatches of time and with many interruptions, so that there exists less uniformity of style than there would otherwise be. Moreover, some of the subjects presented have been discussed by me in papers which have already been published. These papers, however, so far as they have been introduced into this work, have been rewritten, and, it is thought, improved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sanity and Insanity There is, however, one department of medical knowledge to which even the most intelligent of laymen has not yet gained access, and that is the department that deals with insanity. With respect to this malady the great majority of medical men are themselves in the position of laymen. They have not studied it. It was not included in their examinations; it was a thing outside their curriculum - a thing apart, having little community of nature or similarity of character with the subjects Of their professional studies. TO the outside layman - to the non-medical public, insanity presents itself in two somewhat contradictory aspects. Sometimes it is to them a matter of transparent and childlike simplicity, a thing which a person of most ordinary intelligence - say a common juryman - is capable Of Estimating with accuracy and certainty. At other times it is viewed much as our ancestors Viewed the Black Art as something mysterious and marvellous something super natural something to be spoken Of with bated breath; something too full of awe to be even named explicitly. It must then be referred to in indirect and elliptical terms, with pursing Of the lips, with raised eyebrows and shoulders, and with shakings Of the head.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Psychological Medicine: An Introduction to the Practical Study of Insanity I have had great pleasure in complying with that request. I know that a very large proportion of medical students are but little impressed with the responsi bilities which, in after life, they may be called upon to assume with reference to patients afflicted with disorders of the mind; and I am sure that great numbers commence practice with absolutely no ac quaintance with this branch of medicine, and entirely devoid of those particular habits of thought which qualify for its successful practical study. Psychological Medicine, it is true, may be regarded as a Specialty in the practice of our profession. On this account, some may contend that it will be quite time enough to study the subject, when the necessity for more than a passing acquain tance with it Shall have become apparent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theory Concerning the Nature of Insanity Man, as at present constituted, is resolva ble into two elements - of which death acts as a kind of chemical test - a material sub stance termed body, and an immaterial es sence, called indifferently mind or spirit. These two elements were not synthetically combined, for they had no previous exist ence - at least no demonstrable one their creation and combination were simultaneous. Our knowledge of their distinct individuality is derived from the natural analytic process by which their union is dissolved - death.

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.

This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Insanity for Practitioners and Students But anatomy alone does not suffice for a thorough understanding. We must not desist entirely from the attempt to investigate the intermediate processes which lead from external to internal experience. Hence the relation of bodily and mental disturbances must be made clear by the intimate association of cerebral pathology and psychopathology. The Brain as the Site of Normal Mental Processes. Anatomically the brain is the rallying-point of almost all the spinal systems of fibres; in addition the most varied association-systems are present in the cerebrum itself. Comparative anatomy teaches that relatively to the size of the body the size of the cerebral lobes increases, in general, with the intelligence of the animal. The same relation is shown in the increasing development of the surface of the brain by fissures and convolutions, and for this reason the cortical gray matter is universally regarded as an especially important part of the cerebrum. As a rule, individuals of great mental activity possess very large brains, with a marked development of the surface. It is probable that great importance also attaches to the thickness of the cortex. Developmental history shows that the development of the surface and the mass of individual parts does not always coincide in point of time with the appearance of higher mental activities, but that it precedes the latter in a certain measure. The association-fibres in the cerebral cortex develop within the first year of life, and it is not until the age of seven to eight years that they attain the arrangement which is permanent in adults. The development of these fibres occurs latest in the frontal lobes. A further argument in favor of the view that the mental processes take place in the brain is furnished by self-observation during mental processes, which are accompanied by very feeble sensations in the brain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Insanity, 1861, Vol. 18 The application of the system to the phenomena of mental dis ease, seems, however, to have been suggested by the introduction of the numerical method of Louis into general medicine. Shortly after this great medical philosopher had so confidently set about resolving the problems of pathology and therapeutics through his new method, Esquirol employed similar forms in his researches into insanity. These high expectations from statistics in general medicine were soon moderated, and their proper place in medical research gradu ally awarded. In pathology the system was found nearly useless.
