This book was released on 2017-12-09 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unsoundness of Mind, in Its Legal and Medical Consideration We believe that a want of harmony must ever exist be tween the legal and medical doctrines of insanity in its con nection with responsibility. The two cannot be identical, and for this reason: Law demands a fixed rule - medicine admits but a general principle. What would be thought of the phy sician who undertook in the definition of any, even the simplest disease, to say, Certain symptoms must be present? His theory would lead to a series of disappointments, his practice be a continuation of blunders! Yet, law steps forward with her definition of unsoundness of mind; and, according to this definition, on which both the life and reputation of society may depend, one half mankind are mad, and half the mad are wise. Divest the mind of the body, establish a common stand ard of mind for man, and then propound a legal definition make every question of right or wrong a simple proposition in metaphysical science; with Locke investigate the principles of our knowledge, or with Reid scrutinize the principles of our minds, and, irrespective of other considerations, let every de parture from the acknowledged standard be a crime, and every crime bring its responsibility, then, and not until then, can law assume the province of the physician: while we ao knowledge the humanity of 'man, and admit that his physical organization influences, not only the development, but also the healthy exercise of his mind; while we recognize the ca pability of experience to establish certain relations which every power of conception founded on that experience ap proves; without much violence to language or reason we may, for all practical purposes, regard those relations as necessary, and find in their study just grounds for inductions, be they on questions of medicine or of law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unsound Mind and the Law: A Presentation of Forensic Psychiatry In the first main division of the book I purpose treating of the general relation that jurisprudence bears to psychiatry and more especially to consider, in addition to simulation and dis simulation and the self-accusations of the insane, the various degrees of responsibility and the significance they bear to our civil and criminal procedures. The second main division will be devoted to psychiatric expertism and will describe the manifestations by means Of which the most important psychoses and neuro-psychoses may be recognized. The third part is devoted to a consideration of hypnosis and anomalies of sexual sense, and the fourth and last part will indicate the manner in which written or verbal expert Opinions are to be formed and rendered. In this work I hope to be able to do justice to the require ments of the physician as well as to those of the jurist. It has, however, been far from my purpose to write a book on forensic psychiatry in general, for which reason I have endeavored to limit myself to those questions Of juristic psychiatry that may be designated as borderline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Mental Unsoundness: Embracing a General View of Psychological Law But this was not the only circumstance that tended to an expan sion of the definition. Another influence, still more marked, had already prepared the public mind to treat as insanity much that was really only folly or guilty impulse. Between 1760 and 1764, Rousseau published his Contmt Social and Emile, works which, in the sentimental humanitarianism they inculcated, were the natural extreme reaction from the inhumanity of the prior absolutist regime. Rousseau flamed with a romantic admiration not merely for the liberty to do right, but for the liberty to do wrong. Even the grossest natural instincts were of divine origin, and should be nursed with delicate respect. Crime was something to which a man was impelled by his nature; else why should he indulge in crime? Heretofore all insanity was crime. Now all crime was to be in sanity. Sin was not to be viewed as horrible and odious, but as something abnormal, indeed, but provocative of curious regard and sympathy. And criminals were an interesting class of lunatics, who were especially consecrated to the restorative care of the state.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Letter to the Right Honorable the Lord Chancellor: On the Nature and Interpretation of Unsoundness of Mind, and Imbecility of Intellect My Lord, The present address originates in an anxious wish for the advancement of medical knowledge, where it is connected with those maladies of the human mind, that are referable to the court, wherein your Lordship has so long administered impartial justice. The disorders which affect the body are, in general, the exclusive province of the medical practitioner; but, by a wise provision, that has descended to us from the enlightened nations of antiquity, the law has considered those persons, whose intellectual derangement rendered them inadequate to the governance of themselves in society, or incapable of managing their affairs, entitled to its special protection.

This great principle is the key to the whole riddle of Life, upon whatever plane we contemplate it; and without this key the door from the outer to the inner side of things can never be opened. It is therefore the duty of all to whom this door has, at least in some measure, been Opened, to endeavour to acquaint others with the fact that there is an inner side to things, and that life becomes truer and fuller in proportion as we penetrate to it and make our estimates of all things according to what becomes visible from this interior point of view.
