[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Springer US], Neuware - The first English-language comprehensive reference on the history of psychiatry since 1966.The Romans knew that Nero was insane. Shakespeare s Macbeth asked his doctor to treat 'a mind diseased.' The people of the European Enlightenment era pondered whether the asylum inmates were mad or simply bad.As a discipline, psychiatry has always walked a fine if not easily defined line between social and biological science. History of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology traces this evolution in its social, political, and philosophical contexts, charting the rise of psychology as a legitimate field of scientific pursuit, and of psychiatry as a medical specialty. An interdisciplinary team of noted historians (including Sander Gilman, Dora Weiner, Hannah Decker, and the recently deceased dean of American psychiatric history, George Mora) has distilled centuries of history protracted debates, false starts, and missteps included resulting in an engaging and inspiring narrative of history and methodology in the making. Highlights include:A prologue dealing with philosophical and methodological history as it applies to psychology and psychiatryThe birth of brain science in antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the RenaissanceThe roots of modern psychiatry in the French RevolutionChanging concepts of schizophrenia and depressionThe influence of neurology on psychiatryEvolutions in treatment: mental institutions, hypnotherapy, pharmacotherapy The emergence of psychoanalysis and 'national psychologies' in Europe and AmericaModern critiques, including the chapter 'Thoughts Toward a Critique of Biological Psychiatry'Its wide scope, divergent viewpoints, and insistence on viewing historical periods through their own lenses and not our own makes this History a must-have reference for scholars of psychiatry, psychology, and medicine. At the same time, it is accessible enough for the lay reader with some background in the field., DE, [SC: 0.00], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot, 254x178x49 mm, 912, [GW: 1678g], Banküberweisung, PayPal, Internationaler Versand<

Most of the prefatory issues are extensively elaborated upon in the Prolegomenon, which also contains the complete references to the texts and authors discussed below. Nevertheless, the "Preface" would be grossly incomplete without touching on some of these issues, books, and scholars. Too, many of this book''s chapters (e. g. , Mora''s, Marx''s, D. B. Weiner''s) examine and "reference" important earlier, as well as contemporary, general histories of psychiatry and specialized monographs; in German, French, Italian, and Spanish. Also, in his 1968 Short History of Psychiatry, d- cussed below, Ackerknecht (pp. xi-xii) references important nineteenth and earlier-twentieth century psychiatric histories in English, French, and German. Such citations will of course not be repeated here. Finally, thanks to several publishers''re-editions of dozens of classical psychiatric texts; one can consult their bibliographies as well. See "Prolegomenon" for references to these splendid series. In a rough-and-ready sense, medical history began in classical Greece-for example, On Ancient Medicine. While traditionally included in the Hippocratic corpus, this text seems more likely to have been written by a non- or even anti-Hippocratic doctor. Moreover, the Hippocratic and other schools were hardly as secular as we now suppose. On Epilepsy, for example, does not so much declare the prevalent denotation of it as the "sacred disease" erroneous as it does that it is no more nor less sacred than any other disease. | History of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology by Edwin R.
