Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written around 1920, is a manual of psychiatry divided into three parts. The first section of the book gives general knowledge and methodology for approaching mental illness. The second categorizes mental illnesses and provides information on their symptoms, causes, and treatment. The final section contains a variety of diagnostic techniques. The author posits that mental illnesses are not expressions of permanent and fixed alterations of the mind, but rather of active pathological processes. The author notes that mental illness is not necessarily a result of a single cause, but rather of a series of unfavorable conditions that prepare the soil and then, by their simultaneous action, determine the outbreak of insanity. Heredity, addiction to alcohol or drugs, syphilis, and head injuries are considered to be the most important of these causes. The text also discusses exciting causes of mental illness, such as business troubles, domestic troubles, and love affairs, and provides guidance for how to interact with someone suffering from an 'attack of insanity'. 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 9781332352708_0
