Book Description:
The last 20 years have seen a growth in interest in the history of psychiatry. Emphasis has been given to social topics, moral treatment and psychiatry as a profession, but little work has been produced on the internal history of individual diseases and their medico social context. This book aims to redress this imbalance by exploring the history of significant psychiatric disorders from both the clinical and socio historical perspective. It is divided in three sections covering neuropsychiatric disorders such as dementia, stroke and Parkinson's disease; functional psychoses such as schizophrenia and depression; and neuroses and personality. The text is designed as a standard reference work on the subject for practitioners and trainees within medicine, and psychiatry, historians and social scientists. Dr Porter has also published 'Mind Forg'd Manacles'.
