A propos de cet article

First edition. From the library of Dr. C.B. Farrar with his signature on the title and bookplate. Tall 8vo., cont. calf spine, marble boards, leather spine label, (xiv), 576pp. With a folding table at the rear. Outer hinges cracked and very tender, tape at the head of the spine, but still a very good copy. Jacques Joseph Moreau [1804-1884] French psychiatrist. "Frustrated with not being able to locate a structural cause for insanity in the brain, in the mid-19th century, Frency psychiatrist began to focus on function." Following his experiments with hashish, Moreau concluded that insanity stemmed from a dynamic disturbance in brain function that caused it to become unbalanced. In reaffirming insanity's organic basis, Moreau once again legitimized psychiatry's role in identifying its etiology and treatment.
