Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an accessible and comprehensive account of the vast landscape of mental illness from a neurological perspective. The author, an experienced clinician, establishes a firm link between mental processes and their physical substrata in the nervous system, bridging the gap between psychology and neurology in a clear and thought-provoking way. The book begins with an exploration of normal psychology and the neurological basis of sensation, perception, and other cognitive functions. This foundation establishes the framework for understanding the psychology of the insane, which is the central focus of the book. The author delves into the varied causes of insanity, encompassing both endogenous and exogenous factors, and provides a detailed examination of common mental illnesses, including periodic and intermittent insanities, exhaustion psychosis, dementia praecox, general paralysis, and many others. There is also a comprehensive analysis of the physical stigmata of degeneration. The book concludes with compelling case studies and a discussion of the legal and ethical complexities surrounding mental illness. The author's emphasis on the importance of recognizing the inherent humanity of those experiencing mental illness shines throughout, humanizing a subject that is too often shrouded in fear and stigma. Overall, this book provides an in-depth and compassionate examination of mental illness, making it an invaluable resource for students, practitioners, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the intricate workings of the human mind.
