The first substantial psychiatric treatise on hallucinations, a term introduced to medical psychology only twenty years earlier by Esquirol. Believing they constitute a disease sui generis, Brierre de Boismont attempts to reclaim the subject for psychology from medical pathology. He discusses the occurrence of hallucinations in ordinary life, examines the hallucinations of dreams and nightmares and the their occurrence in animal magnetism, somnambulism, and ecstasy. The latter part of the book discusses the causes, symptomatology, and treatment. Widely read, his book influenced everyone writing about the subject after him.

Facsimile reprint of the 1902 revised and enlarged edition.
The first book entirely devoted to child psychiatry in any language. Born in Weimar, Emminghaus worked 1868-9 at the asylum there; in 1880 he occupied the first Chair of Psychiatry at the University of Dorpat (now Tartu, Estonia, which was part of Russia from 1721 to 1918), where in 1886 his successor was Kraepelin when Emminghaus assumed the new chair of psychiatry at the University of Freiburg, where he introduced the non-restraint system. Emminghaus's textbook, issued in the first German-language handbook of child diseases, deemed child psychosis the principal form of mental disturbance in children. He held that the primary cause was somatic, although he also stressed the diagnostic importance of individual differences in development; consequently he can reasonably be called the founder of developmental psychopathology. His book reviews the historical literature.
Facsimile reprint of the London 1847 Sydenham Society edition. The first book published in Austria dealing with medical psychology and psychopathology, which introduced the terms psychosis, psychiatric, and psychopathology.A key book in the history of psychiatry "which not only introduced into psychiatry a new standard and a new methodology, but also a number of terms which came to stay" [Hunter & Macalpine p. 952]. The terms 'psychosis', 'psychopathology' and 'psychiatric practitioner' [ie, 'psychiatrist'] all were given their modern meanings in Feuchtersleben's book and subsequently diffused through the psychiatric literature. The "founder of psychosomatic medicine as a systematic discipline … (Feuchtersleben) gave articulate expression to the principle that man is a psychophysical totality". (Roback. (1961), p. 282). Straddling the split in psychiatry between physiology and psychology, Feuchtersleben both championed the use of psychotherapy with the mentally diseased (a method he called "second education") and insisted that psychosis always entailed disturbed physical function.
