Unprinted spine hand-let tered. Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at the University of Vienna, Benedikt make numerous discoveries in electrotherapeutics and neuropathology; Ellenberger thought that his notion of the "pathogenic secret" in hysteria directly prefigured and inf luenced Breuer & Freud, who footnoted him in their 1892 paper. Charcot named a rare neuromuscular syndrome after him after he correctly described it (tegmental mesencephalic paralysis). Along with Lombroso, Benedikt also pioneered the study of criminal a nthropology. In the present book, which was influential in its time, he tried to localize morality in the brain and to show that the brains of criminals differed in anatomical structure from those of normals. He didn't get the anatomy right (and couldn't have, given the knowledge of neuroanatomy in his time) but as D'Amasio's recent work has shown, Benedikt was right about the localization of moral feelings.

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 p art of the book discusses the causes, symptomatology, and treatment. Widely read, his book influenced everyone writing about the subject after him.

With 146 recent cases cited, it is an excellent period guide to the state of Victorian psychiatry and the law.

Bucke's first book (of three), published two years after his appointment as medical superintendent of the Asylum for the Insane in London, Ontario.

Bucke's ideas reached their fruitio n in the 1901 Cosmic Consciousness, his magnum opus published shortly before his death in which he described the development of consciousness in three stages from simple (animals), through self-consciousness (typical humans), to cosmic (the next evolutionary stage).

Hopelessly obscure (I cannot find a single reference to it), Catlow's is nonetheless an extraordinary book, being at once a treatise on what is now called holistic medicine, a treatise on aesthetics, and a treatise on developmental psychology . Catlow's notions of susceptibility and sensibility directly prefigure Piaget's concepts of accomodation and assimilation -- indeed, his entire discussion of the hierarchical development of mental life reads like Piaget. His lengthy discussion of infant psychology is astute and generations ahead of what anybody else was writing in the 1860s. His treatment of desire and volition is equally profound. He knows that dreams are wish-fulfillment (p. 298), that they guard sleep, and that dream images must der ive from prior sensation or thought.

Afte r trying to expose western land and Indian Department misdeeds, he became disillusioned with politicians and corruption and abandoned engineering for medicine, graduating from Chicago Medical College (later Northwestern University) i 1879, only to encoun ter the same Gilded Age corruption and criminality at the Insane Asylum of Cook County, where he had gained employment as a pathologist. Attempts on his life persuaded him to resign in 1884, although his continued campaign for reform resulted in some con victions. In 1893 he was appointed medical superintendent of the Illinois Eastern Hospital for the Insane in Kankakee, where he opposed state & county officials who stole from the institution and abused patients. His tenure there lasted but three months. In 1900 he was appointed professor of neurology and psychiatry at Harvey Medical College. He is most important in the history of psychiatry for publishing in 1889 the first American book on "railway spine" and a massive 1898 treatise on medical jurispru dence.

Much scarcer than Spurzheim's similar treatise. An important contribution to psychiatric thought. Combe conceived of mental illness as a 'functional derangement' of the brain. Mid 19th century American & British psychiatry was much influenced by phrenology. Phrenological concepts, "although by no means a psychopathology in the modern sense ... provided the physician with a stimulus and a framework to study patients' minds, their faculties, emotions and propensities, in short their psychologi cal make-up and situation of which the charting of bumps on the head was only an arabesque" (Hunter & Macalpine, p. 813).

Hunter & Macalpine p. 805. Conolly's first book (other than his doctoral dissertation of 1821). Published twenty-six years before his epochal book on non-restraint and nine years before his official psychiatric career began with his appointme nt as superintendent of the Middlesex County Lunatic Asylum at Hanwell, this is the first attempt to link normal and abnoraml states of mind, the first book (possibly excepting Batty) to suggest that asylums become clinical schools to familiarize physici ans with mental disorders, the first proposal for a mental health service based on local mental hospitals. Leigh notes that "as the second part of the title shows, even at this time Conolly's mind was preoccupied with the ideas which, years later, were t o make him famous" (p. 231).

One of the high spots in the history of psychiatry. Though Conolly did not originate the non-restraint system, it was he who through this book popularized it throughout the psychiatric community, so that his name is forever linked with non-re straint. "Modelled on the non-restrictive policies adopted by Gardiner Hill at Lincoln Asylum, Conolly's abolition of all forms of physical restraint at Hanwell Asylum indicated a fundamental shift in psychiatric thought: insane patients were no longer t o be thought of as vicious animals, but as sick human beings who deserved (both morally and legally) to be treated with the same consideration and sense of respect as their 'normal' counterparts. A consequence of the non-restraint campaign was the establ ishment of mental nursing as a profession, as the new system required a well-trained, benevolent and conscientious attendant staff" [Norman Catalog].

On the basis of close observation of his children and pets for many years, Darwin conclusively refuted Charles Bell's concept that the expressive muscles in man are a special endowment. "Darwin examined the causes, physiological and psycholog ical, of all the fundamental emotions in man and animals. He concluded that 'the chief expressive actions exhibited by man and by the lower animals are now innate or inherited', and that most of the movements of expression must have been gradually acquir ed" [GM]. Published the year after The Descent of Man, The Expression of the Emotions in effect extended evolutionary theory to psychology. Following in Darwin's path, Romanes and Lloyd Morgan created the discipline of comparati ve psychology.

A high spot in the history of hypnotism, in which Esdaile provided the first large-scale evidence for hypnotic anaesthesia. During his six years as a surgeon in India (1845-1851) he performed 261 major operations, of which some 200 consisted in the removal of scrotal tumors varying from 10 to 103 lbs. Though the previous mortality rate for such operations had been 40-50%, only 16 of his patient died. Despite this success using mesmeric trance, Esdaile was ridiculed by the medical press in In dia and ignored in England. Undaunted by the local criticism he published his book anyway.

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 ... (Feuchtersle ben) 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 ment ally diseased (a method he called "second education") and insisted that psychosis always entailed disturbed physical function.

Written when the author was 28 and the standard mid-century German psychiatric text, Griesinger's book tended to reduce psychological disorders to organic pathology (though not exclusively, Griesinger regarded suicide, for example, as a psych ological malady). Widely influential, it established psychiatry as a material-monist department of the newly emerging scientific medicine. Griesinger distinguished three forms of mental disorders: depression, exaltation, and mental weakness; all of which he deemed organic conditions, though without excluding moral treatment in their management.

Hallaran was physician to the Cork asylum (the second Irish asylum) from the time it opened in 1789 till his death in 1826 and was lauded for his humane and melioristic treatment of his patients. "Hallaran also gave much thought to psychological aspects and . . . distinguished 'mental insanity' from insanity due 'to organic disease . . . affecting the brain ,' either primarily or secondarily . . . This fundamental distinction led to many later advances made by the discovery and definition of organic conditions presenting as psychiatric syndromes of which the classical example was general paralysis of the in sane . . . Interest in 'mental' or 'moral' treatment also led Hallaran to stress the importance of the first interview with a patient." Hallaran was also the first to recognize the danger of institutionalization. [Hunter & Macalpine, pp. 648-655]. < A HREF="mailto:inquiry@gach.com"> Inquire | Order $750.00

Haslam's greatest book dominated English psychiatry for a generation and was frequently cited by Pinel. An uncommonly clear writer, Haslam begins by exploring the etymology of the term 'madness' and attempting to define it, describes the symp toms (he held that melancholia and mania were two aspects of a single disease), describes in remarkably limpid prose 29 illustrative cases (expanded to 37 in the 1809 second edition), considers the causes of insanity, consders prognosis, management (defe nding restraint) and therapy (he favored blistering the legs instead of the head).

"Hazard, who retired from business at the age of forty-three after a successful career in textile manufacturing, spent the remainder of his life pursuing educational reform, abolition, and woman's suffrage. His report recommended that the sta te adopt a mixed form of poor relief whereby impoverished persons lacking a home or family would be cared for in an institution, while all others would receive outdoor assistance. He also insisted on certain administrative and procedural safeguards for t he poor. With respect to the insane, he saw no reason why chronic cases should not be kept in local welfare institutions, which, unlike mental hospitals, were under no significant pressure to restrict the personal liberties of their inmates. ... As a res ult of his efforts, the General Assembly enacted legislation providing for partial subsidization of the pauper insane at the Butler Hospital. Unlike Jarvis, Hazard did not distinguish between natives and immigrants, nor did he view poverty in terms of ch aracter deficiency; his analysis was sympathetic in nature" [Grob, Mental Institutions in America: Social Policy to 1875, p. 261].

The two works secured his election as Professor of Moral Philosophy in Glasgow in 1729. Hutcheson seriously influenced the ideas of Hume, with whom he c orrespondend in the late 1730s and 1740s. Admam Smith and Thomas Reid were both students. "In his Essay . . . Hutcheson refined his moral psychology. offering a kind of phenomenology of the internal modifications and the ideas they provoke. In the appended Illustrations upon the Moral Sense, he not only addressed criticism of his theory but also endeavoured to show that rival systems, like those proposed by the rationalists, depended on a moral sense for their coherence" [Dicti onary of Eighteenth Century British Philosophers 1: 456].

An important contribution to moral theory, supplementing the discussion of morality in his 1725 Inquiry into the Original of Our Ideas of Beauty and Virtue. Considerably influenced the Scottish 'Common Sense' philosophers. "Hutch eson was interested in the psychological aspects of temperament and emotion and the effect of the 'Association of Ideas' in rousing and maintaining feelings, even when 'contrary to Reason', and showed that they 'were not so much in our Power, as some see m to imagine', a fact which could account for a whole range of psychological responses, from normal to pathological."

One of the classics of 20th century psychiatry. Elaborating on ideas first broached in his 1910 paper on paranoia, Jaspers here introduced a number of diagnostic criteria that changed how psychiatrists view patients. Jaspers introduced the bi ographical method, which stresses assembling detailed biographical information about patients as well as noting how patients themselves feel about their symptoms. At least as important was his emphasis on diagnosing psychotic symptoms by their form rathe r than their content. Jaspers applied his method to both hallucinations and delusions, dividing the latter into primary, which appear without apparent cause and are incomprehensible in terms of normal mental functioning, and secondary, which are shaped b y the person's life events and current mental state. Jaspers regarded primary delusions as meaningless and not understandable, a view later hotly contested.
