Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book defines insanity and its various divisions, as well as outlining its symptoms and treatment. Written over 150 years ago, the author engages with the understanding of insanity at the time, acknowledging the prevailing view that religious instruction can be counterproductive or even dangerous. The author argues against prevailing wisdom, making a case that the minds of insane persons are capable of religious cultivation and that there is nothing to discourage the attempt to instruct them in a proper way. The author provides numerous real-world examples of insane patients whose cases demonstrate the benefits of religious instruction, which can add to their comfort and promote their recovery. This book will be of interest to historians, those interested in the history of medicine or mental illness and religious studies scholars. Exploring the complexities of insanity, the author provides descriptions of various conditions and disorders which were understood as falling under the umbrella of insanity, providing an insight into the medical knowledge and practices of the time.
