Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often misunderstood world of mental unsoundness. It explores the different forms of insanity as they were understood in 19th-century England, a time when medical knowledge of the mind was still developing. The author, who appears to be a medical professional, carefully examines the various classifications of mental disorder, including mania, moral insanity, monomania, and instinctive madness. He challenges prevailing legal and medical opinions of the time, arguing that insanity is not simply a matter of delusion or hallucination, but often involves a deeper disruption of moral and emotional faculties. The book is particularly compelling in its exploration of moral insanity, a concept that the author himself introduces, emphasizing the crucial distinction between intellectual and moral derangement. He presents a detailed account of individuals who appear perfectly rational but exhibit disturbing changes in temperament, behavior, and affections. This exploration of "moral insanity" predates the formal recognition of this type of mental illness by the medical community, demonstrating the author's insightful understanding of the complexities of mental illness. Through detailed case studies and insightful analysis, this book offers a nuanced and timeless perspective on the nature of mental illness, emphasizing the need for compassionate understanding and sensitive treatment, even in the face of societal prejudice and limited knowledge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282943660_0
