Excerpt from Commentaries on the Causes, Forms, Symptoms, and Treatment, Moral and Medical, of Insanity The first notice of insanity as a disease traces it to the era of fable yet the cure of the daughters of Proteus by Melampus, through the means of hellebore, bears too many marks of consistency to be a mere fiction.

A systematic examination of five poems by Tennyson revealing a subtle encoding by the poet of a multi-level criticism of Victorian mores. The dementia of Tennyson's mad speakers is shown to arise from problematic Victorian conflicts about faith, duty, death, and the suppression of desire.

Excerpt from Plain Talk About Insanity, Its Causes, Forms, Symptoms, and the Treatment of Mental Diseases: With Remarks on Hospitals and Asylums, and the Medico-Legal Aspect of Insanity Popular medical writings are, as a rule, harmful, from the dan gerons self-confidence a superficial knowledge inspires. With re spect to Insanity, much preventible suffering exists, from the tendency to experiment with a disease of the brain, requiring, of'all others, the most patient and skilful attention of the physician. No encourage ment to such experiments on the part of friends, or public Officers, will be found here. The medical profession alone can furnish suit able guardianship for the insane.

This volume collects the foundation papers in the discipline of Geriatric medicine. The book begins with a chapter on those papers that established the field. It then goes on to provide a long overdue review of the important "classic" papers in geriatric medicine and includes information on the development of health systems which support the care of older patients. Each chapter begins with a commentary by a faculty member with special interest or expertise in that area.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Nature, Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment of Insanity In some, it is attended with the highest degree of maniacal excitement, excessive muscular strength, and extraordinary vivacity of intellect; in others, the greatest depression is found, not a word is ut tered, and the patient remains like an automaton for weeks together. In some, the senses are quick ened, and the sight and hearing are morbidly acute in others, they are excessively obtuse, and the whole nervous system becomes in a great measure insen sible to feeling. Indeed, from our observing, that circumstances apparently similar produce results diametrically opposite in different individuals, we might be led to conclude, that, in this disease nature is at variance with herself, and that, although in all other cases she is uniform, insanity forms an excep tion to her rule. A further inquiry into its nature will show us that, when fully examined, these incon sistencies do not exist; and that they are to be traced to our classing under the name of insanity a set of diseases, which really act in totally different ways, and most probably affect different parts. It will be seen, that an attempt has been made in the following pages, in the first place, to investigate the nature of insanity. The results of this investi gation are offered with much diffidence. It is felt, that the theory is liable to many and plausible oh jections, and that it is incapable of demonstration; and it is also felt that even if the view be correct, not more than the first step has been advanced in the inquiry. If it be true that insanity is really. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Michel Foucault examines the archeology of madness in the West from 1500 to 1800 - from the late Middle Ages, when insanity was still considered part of everyday life and fools and lunatics walked the streets freely, to the time when such people began to be considered a threat, asylums were first built, and walls were erected between the "insane" and the rest of humanity.

The meaning of criminal responsibility emerged in early- to mid-twentieth-century Canadian capital murder cases through a complex synthesis of socio-cultural, medical, and legal processes. Kimberley White places the negotiable concept of responsibility at the centre of her interdisciplinary inquiry, rather than the more fixed legal concepts of insanity or guilt. In doing so she brings subtlety to more general arguments about the historical relationship between law and psychiatry, the insanity defence, and the role of psychiatric expertise in criminal law cases. Through capital murder case files, White examines how the idea of criminal responsibility was produced, organized, and legitimized in and through institutional structures such as remissions, trial, and post-trial procedures; identity politics of race, character, citizenship, and gender; and overlapping narratives of mind-state and capacity. In particular, she points to the subtle but deeply influential ways in which common sense about crime, punishment, criminality, and human nature shaped the boundaries of expert knowledge at every stage of the judicial process. Negotiating Responsibility fills a void in Western socio-legal history scholarship and provides an essential point of reference from which to evaluate current criminal law practices and law reform initiatives in Canada.
