Abstracts the 7th edition of the Lehrbuch, no part of which has been translated into English. A more complete rendition of Kraepelin's text than Defendorf's (as he then spelled his name) 1902 abridgment of the 6th edition. This second and last edition includes the chapters on methods of examination and classification of mental diseases omitted from the earlier edition, considerably expands the sections on psychogenic neuroses and psychopathic states, and includes the chapter on psychopathic personalities added by Kraepelin to the 7th edition of his textbook.
Facsimile reprints in one volume of the original 1919 and 1921 editions in English, originally published as sections in the 8th edition of Psychiatrie, 1909-1915.
The clinical companion to Kraepelin's great Lehrbuch, consisting of thirty lectures on every aspect of clinical psychiatry (hysteria, dementia praecox, manic-depression, paranoia, chronic alcoholism, delusions, addiction, imbecility, et cetera).
The clinical companion to Kraepelin's great Lehrbuch, consisting of thirty lectures on every aspect of clinical psychiatry (hysteria, dementia praecox, manic-depression, paranoia, chronic alcoholism, delusions, addiction, imbecility, et cetera).
In the fifth edition Kraepelin for the first time organized the psychoses into two main nosological categories: deteriorating (die Verblödungsprocesse) and nondeteriorating (das periodische Irresein). In the first group "were those conditions that were to constitute his notion of dementia praecox in his sixth edition in 1899. In the second group … he brought together mania, melancholia, and circular insanity, thus discontinuing the presentation of mania and melancholia as separate disorders" [Jackson, Melancholia and Depression: From Hippocratic Times to Modern Times, p. 189].
Arguably the most influential psychiatric text of the 20th century. The 8th is the last edition published in Kraepelin's lifetime and is essentially the final state of the text (the 9th and final edition appeared in 1927 with the first volume on general psychiatry by Johannes Lange. Originally published in 1883 as a small Kompendium der Psychiatrie.
It was in this sixth edition that Kraepelin introduced manic-depressive insanity as a separate nosological category and reclassified dementia praecox as an endogenous disease (in the fifth edition he had classified it as a metabolic disorder). Quen's 16-page introduction is a thoughtful essay on Kraepelin and on the successive change in the eight lifetime editions of his Psychiatrie.
Facsimile reprint of the 1892 first edition in English, which translated the 7th revised German edition.
Published the same year as Wedek's translation (issued by Putnam's). Both modern translations give the complete text in English—otherwise they seem nearly identical with Chaddock's.
Facsimile reprint of the 1904 first edition in English.
Facsimile reprint of the 1928 Rodker edition of The Witches' Hammer. The book is divided into three sections: the first proving that witchcraft or sorcery existed; the second describing the forms of witchcraft; the third the detection, trial, and destruction of witches. Not very original, the book mainly codified existing beliefs and practices with substantial parts taken from earlier works such as Nicolas Eymeric's Directorium Inquisitorium and Johannes Nider's Formicarius.The classic and widely used Roman Catholic text on witchcraft. Although condemned by the Inquisition in 1490 and never officially used by the Church, the Malleus nevertheless set the standard for the next two centuries for interrogating suspected witches. It was compiled by two Dominican inquisitors who submitted the book to the University of Cologne's Faculty of Theology on May 9, 1487, hoping for an endorsement (instead they ended up receiving a condemnation for its use of unethical legal procedures and because its demonology was not consistent with Catholic doctrine). With 13 editions by 1520 the book filled an obvious need for a practical and judicial manual. Widely used throughout Central and Western Europe, though less so in England and the Netherlands, the Malleus was accepted as authoritative by both Catholics and Protestants. From the beginning it was the most influential Renaissance guide for popular witchhunters. The senior author, Kramer, is also often known through the Latin form of his name, Institorius.

The most complete exposition of Maudsley's radically monist views. Maudsley's insistence throughout his life on the dependence of mental functions upon body events is, in fact, his major contribution to psychiatry. Maudsley "championed a mind/body view that might best be called aterialist functionalism,' a view that is probably still the predominant position among modern psychologists and psychiatrists. The essence of this perspective is an unwavering belief in the functional dependence of mind on body and brain" [Wozniak Classics, p. 27].

Facsimile reprint of the London 1769 edition. By demonstrating in Book I, on diseases of the head, that madness had no uniform pathology, Morgagni showed that it could not be one disease and "secondly that in cases where specific pathological lesions were found in the brain the disease had shown distinctive features and run a characteristic course" [HM p.441]. These findings, ignored in the 18th century, were to become profoundly important in the 19th with the emergence of biological psychiatry.
Facsimile reprint of the 1925 Williams and Wilkins original edition.
Professor of Neurology at Tufts, Myerson became interested in psychiatric genetics when he collaborated around 1910 with the St. Louis neuropsychiatrist William Washington Graves. Myerson served as clinical director and pathologist at Taunton State Hospital in Massachusets from 1913 to 1917. There he studied the records of all patients admitted since 1854, examining current patients and their relatives. He published his findings here, dedicating the book to Graves. Myerson showed that ten percent of the families involved had had more than one member committed, and concluded that schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychosis appeared to be hereditary, while other mental diseases did not.

Facsimile reprint of the London 1792 edition.
The papers are sequentially numbered, with 1-41 in the first volume, and 42-56 in the second volume. The fifteen papers he wrote from 1928 until his death in 1936 are included in volume two, several published here for the first time. Together the two volumes contain all of Pavlov's public lectures and papers on conditioned reflexes. Gantt contributed informative introductions to both volumes (respectively 25 and 21 pages). G[eorgii] Fol'bort (here anglicized as "Volborth"), Pavlov's former assistant at the Military Medical Academy in Leningrad, who did the German translation of the first volume, collaborated with Gantt in its English translation, correcting the early drafts and contributing many of the footnotes. W. B. Cannon contributed a brief introduction.

Facsimile reprint of the rare 1806 edition.
GM-5 #4928 (1st edition). Facsimile reprint of the London 1837 first edition.
Prichard coined the vastly influential concept "moral insanity" which he briefly described in the Cyclopedia of Practical Medicine, 1833-35, and which he fully described in the present work. The standard British psychiatric text until Bucknill & Tuke (1858), Prichard"s Treatise is also the first extensive description of psychopathy. In 1888 Koch introduced the term "psychopathic inferiority" which Kraepelin adopted. Meyer used the term "constitutional psychopathic inferior" in 1905 while Cleckley gave the classic exposition of the syndrome in his 1941 Mask of Sanity. The modern descriptions vary little from Prichard"s while his term "moral insanity" is more descriptive of the disorder"s phenomenology than its pallid replacement "psychopathy."
Facsimile reprint of the 1906 printing.
Cowper (1731-1800) was British poet, regarded as the leading poet of the 18th century English religious revival, who suffered from manic-depression with paranoid tendencies. His own autobiographical account of his early life, struggle with depression & mania, and religious conversion was posthumously published in 1816. Quinlan's book covers his five bouts with insanity, his commitment to St Albans, his melancholy and suicide attempts, his sexual problems, his religious conversion to Evangelicalism, and William Hayley's attempt to cure Cowper's depression near the end of his life.

Hunter & Macalpine pp.221-24; Meynell pp. 17-21. First issued by the Sydenham Society in Latin in 1844 in with more scholarly apparatus than this translation."Competing theories about hysteria circulated in the latter half of the [17th] century. London physician Thomas Sydenham used the term in a nonspecific sense to signify any mental disorder short of what we would call outright psychosis" [Stone Healing the Mind, p.42]. Sydenham, for whom hysteria was a catch-all category more or less corresponding to what we call 'neurosis,' diagnosed hysteria in a sixth of his patients, noting that depression often accompanied the symptoms and that they could co-exist with physical disease. Also contains separate discussions of madness.
