Descrizione

Einband etwas berieben und bestossen, papierbedingt gebr�t und braunfleckig. - In medicine, Prichard specialised in what is now psychiatry. In 1822 he published "A Treatise on Diseases of the Nervous System (pt. I)", and in 1835 a "Treatise on Insanity and Other Disorders Affecting the Mind", in which he advanced the theory of the existence of a distinct mental illness called moral insanity. Prichard's work was also the first definition of senile dementia in the English language. Augstein has suggested that these works were aimed at the prevalent materialist theories of mind, phrenology and craniology. She has also suggested that Prichard was influenced by the somatic school of German Romantic psychiatric thought, in particular Christian Friedrich Nasse, and (eclecticly) Johann Christian August Heinroth; this in addition to an acknowledged debt to Jean-�ienne Dominique Esquirol.
