A Study of Heredity of Insanity in the Light of the Mendelian Theory (Classic Reprint) by A. J. Rosanoff Pdf

Excerpt from A Study of Heredity of Insanity in the Light of the Mendelian Theory Thus in clinical psychiatry progress has been marked by a simplification Of classification through a far-reaching extension of the conception of clinical equivalents. Some Of the data furnished by our material seem to indicate the necessity for a still further extension of this conception. It is interesting to note that what we learn in institutional experience to recognize as insanity is a comparatively uncommon group of manifestations Of the neuropathic constitution, for Of our total of 437 neuropathic subjects (not counting the 21 who died in convulsions in early childhood) only 115, or per cent, pre sented at any time in their lives indications for commitment to sanitariums or hospitals for the insane; moreover, it is Obvious, where the facts are known in detail, that in most cases in which such indications have occurred they were in the shape Of special reactions to special environmental conditions and it seems equally Obvious that our definition Of the various types of neuropathic constitution must be in terms not Of such special reactions, but rather of the more stable and more general underlying psychical traits and tendencies.

Genetics in the Madhouse by Theodore M. Porter Pdf

"In the early 1800s, a century before there was any concept of the gene, physicians in insane asylums began to record causes of madness in their admission books. Almost from the beginning, they pointed to heredity as the most important of these causes. As doctors and state officials steadily lost faith in the capacity of asylum care to stem the terrible increase of insanity, they began emphasizing the need to curb the reproduction of the insane. They became obsessed with identifying weak or tainted families and anticipating the outcomes of their marriages. Genetics in the Madhouse is the untold story of how the collection and sorting of hereditary data in mental hospitals, schools for 'feebleminded' children, and prisons gave rise to a new science of human heredity. In this compelling book, Theodore Porter draws on untapped archival evidence from across Europe and North America to bring to light the hidden history behind modern genetics. He looks at the institutional use of pedigree charts, censuses of mental illness, medical-social surveys, and other data techniques--innovative quantitative practices that were worked out in the madhouse long before the manipulation of DNA became possible in the lab. Porter argues that asylum doctors developed many of the ideologies and methods of what would come to be known as eugenics, and deepens our appreciation of the moral issues at stake in data work conducted on the border of subjectivity and science. A bold rethinking of asylum work, Genetics in the Madhouse shows how heredity was a human science as well as a medical and biological one"--Jacket.

Inventing the Feeble Mind by James W. Trent (Jr.) Pdf

Pity, disgust, fear, cure, and prevention--all are words that Americans have used to make sense of what today we call intellectual disability. Inventing the Feeble Mind explores the history of this disability from its several identifications over the past 200 years: idiocy, imbecility, feeblemindedness, mental defect, mental deficiency, mental retardation, and most recently intellectual disability. Using institutional records, private correspondence, personal memories, and rare photographs, James Trent argues that the economic vulnerability of intellectually disabled people (and often their families), more than the claims made for their intellectual and social limitations, has shaped meaning, services, and policies in United States history.
