Synopsis

Functional Nerve Diseases is a medical book written by Alfred Taylor Schofield in 1908. The book focuses on the study of functional nerve diseases, also known as neuroses. These conditions are characterized by symptoms that are not caused by any underlying organic disease or structural abnormality in the nervous system. Schofield's book provides a comprehensive overview of the different types of functional nerve diseases, including hysteria, neurasthenia, and psychasthenia. He discusses the clinical features of each condition, as well as their causes, diagnosis, and treatment. The author also explores the psychological and social factors that contribute to the development of functional nerve diseases. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the patient's emotional and mental state in order to effectively diagnose and treat these conditions. Overall, Functional Nerve Diseases is a valuable resource for medical professionals and researchers interested in the study of neuroses. It provides a detailed and insightful analysis of these complex conditions, and offers practical guidance for their diagnosis and treatment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

No two writers can agree upon what they mean by the phrase, or arrive at the same conclusions on the diseases to be included, while many take refuge in avoiding the subject altogether. The word disease is vague enough in itself. It is defined as a deviation from the standard of health in any of the functions or component materials of the body, but this is surely misleading, for we all experience countless deviations in function and component materials that do not constitute disease. Disease, says H. Campbell, is an abnormal mode of life. There is not much help here, for there are many abnormal modes of life that do not constitute disease.
