THE TREATMENT OF INSANITY. Before proceeding to discuss the medical treatment of cases of insanity, there is a point which requires to be first disposed of, for it is one that is suggested both to the physician and the patient's friends at a very early period in the course of the disease, and that is the question: Shall the insane person be treated at home or in an asylum A few years ago there would have been but one answer to such a question, either from the physician or the friends of any patient having the means wherewith to be maintained in a hospital specially set apart for the care and treatment of those so unfortunate as to be the subjects of mental derangement; and for those not having the means, efforts would have been made to procure their admission into a like institution supported at the public expense. But the case is very different now. All are anxious to keep their mentally deranged patients or friends at home so long as this can be done with safety, and matters are fast reaching that point, in some sections of the country, at which no lunatics except those who are dangerous to themselves or others will be sent to asylums so long as they have friends able to take care of them. But, before proceeding to consider the reasons for this extraordinary change of professional and lay opinion, it is proper, in the first place, to ascertain, as far as practicable, what forms of insanity require asylum treatment, and what forms do not. All the varieties of insanity given in the table of classification on pages 292 and 293 can, with reference to this point, be arranged into three groups: 1. Those the subjects of which should never, under any circumstances, be forcibly deprived of their liberty by being committed to a...

Book excerpt: Few subjects in medicine are so intimately connected with the history and philosophy of the human mind as insanity. Derangement of the understanding is generally considered as an effect of an organic lesion of the brain, consequently as incurable; a supposition that is, in a great number of instances, contrary to anatomical fact. The present essay will commence with an historical exposition of periodical insanity. The leading principles of our moral treatment will then be developed. Attention to these principles along will, frequently, not only lay the foundation of, but complete a cure. This successful application of moral regimen exclusively gives great weight to the supposition that, in the majority of circumstances, there is no organic lesion of the brain. By autopsy, interviews, and observational means, I have been enabled to introduce a method into the services of this hospital [Asylum de Bicetre, France], and to class my patients in a great measure according to the varieties and inveteracy of their complaints. An account of our system of interior police will finish this part of the enquiry. The last section will comprehend the principles of our medical treatment. From the original 1806 text by Philippe Pinel. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insanity in Its Medico-Legal Relations Even in this enlightened day there are those who sneer at the idea of calling a physician to decide the question of insanity. A person in order to be insane, in their estima tion, must either be a raging maniac, or, at least, be labor ing under an outrageous delusion. They know nothing of the secret workings of the human mind, either in health or disease, and too often think the physician makes crime an evidence of insanity, Simply because they cannot appreciate the unseen evolutions of the mind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity The last words of a book are those which meet the reader's eye first. As that is the case, a preface generally says what the book is meant to be, and in how far the writer's intentions have been realised in the work. Most prefaces are apologies. This work on mental defects and diseases in their legal relations is intended as a practical treatise more complete and systematic than the chapters devoted to this subject in medico-legal text-books, or than those monographs on limited portions of it which have from time to time appeared.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insanity and Allied Neuroses: Practical and Clinical To those who have been engaged for years in the culture of any branch of science, and in the imparting of its data to others, there naturally comes a time when the facts observed, and the apparent relations between them, seem to demand some permanent registration. One has, as it were, to take stock of ones facts and see what has been learnt. I have for some time felt that my period of observation without registration must terminate, and that I owe it to my position as physician to a large hospital to give the younger members of my profession the results of my more than twelve years experience in Bethlem. In this book I shall describe insanity and trace its life history. I shall explain the legal relationships of the insane, and make plain the duties of the physician who has to be responsible for their safety and welfare. Although the greater portion of this work will be the record of my own personal experience, I shall have also to draw upon the experience of others when treating of idiocy, epilepsy, and chronic mental disorders, because in Bethlem such cases are not treated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Question of Insanity: And Its Medico-Legal Relations Considered Upon General Principles I ask to be allowed to inscribe these pages to you, not because I believe them worthy of such high and distinguished consideration, but simply as a slight testimonial of respect for the talents and patriotism which induced you, "a gallant few," to step forward in the work of medical reform in North Carolina; of esteem for those steadfast virtues, courage and industry, which have caused you to press forward amid the greatest of discouragements, and almost of defeat in fact, "to perform the tasks of hope in the midst of despair;" and of acknowledgment for numerous instances of disinterested friendship, and for honors conferred, that were wholly unsolicited on my part. "The labors of the faithful seldom go unrequited; and the work of the wise endureth as a monument." Such are your labors; may your work be a monument of wisdom imperishable as the pyramids.
