Klappentext zu „History of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology “
This book chronicles the conceptual and methodological facets of psychiatry and medical psychology throughout history. There are no recent books covering so wide a time span. Many of the facets covered are pertinent to issues in general medicine, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and the social sciences today. The divergent emphases and interpretations among some of the contributors point to the necessity for further exploration and analysis. The first English-language comprehensive reference on the history of psychiatry since 1966.The Romans knew that Nero was insane. Shakespeare s Macbeth asked his doctor to treat "a mind diseased." The people of the European Enlightenment era pondered whether the asylum inmates were mad or simply bad.
As a discipline, psychiatry has always walked a fine if not easily defined line between social and biological science. History of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology traces this evolution in its social, political, and philosophical contexts, charting the rise of psychology as a legitimate field of scientific pursuit, and of psychiatry as a medical specialty. An interdisciplinary team of noted historians (including Sander Gilman, Dora Weiner, Hannah Decker, and the recently deceased dean of American psychiatric history, George Mora) has distilled centuries of history protracted debates, false starts, and missteps included resulting in an engaging and inspiring narrative of history and methodology in the making. Highlights include:
A prologue dealing with philosophical and methodological history as it applies to psychology and psychiatry
The birth of brain science in antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance
The roots of modern psychiatry in the French Revolution
Changing concepts of schizophrenia and depression
The influence of neurology on psychiatry
Evolutions in treatment: mental institutions, hypnotherapy, pharmacotherapy
The emergence of psychoanalysis and "national psychologies" in Europe and America
Modern critiques,

including the chapter "Thoughts Toward a Critique of Biological Psychiatry"
Its wide scope, divergent viewpoints, and insistence on viewing historical periods through their own lenses and not our own makes this History a must-have reference for scholars of psychiatry, psychology, and medicine. At the same time, it is accessible enough for the lay reader with some background in the field.

This book chronicles the conceptual and methodological facets of psychiatry and medical psychology throughout history. Many of these are pertinent to issues in general medicine, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and the social sciences today. Section One, "Periods," chronicles the prehistory and history of the field from embryonic psychiatry (antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Enlightenment) through the emergence of psychiatry as a medical specialty (romantic or early-19th-century German psychiatry, descriptive psychiatry and psychiatric nosology, psychoanalysis, biological psychiatry, liaison psychiatry, and psychopharmacology). Section Two, "Key Topics and Concepts," explores the history of major psychiatric disorders such as depression, schizophrenia, psychosomatic disorders, the influence of neurology of psychiatry, the evolution and transformation of mental institutions, and the psychoanalytic movement in the United States. Section Three, "Epilogue," is a philosophical treatment of psychiatry as a medical specialty.
Where appropriate, contributors have had access to each other's developing essays and have cooperated with each other and with the editors to minimize redundancy and enhance the book's coherence and integration. The divergent emphases and interpretations among some of the contributors will interest the serious student of history as much as the convergences because the former point to the necessity for further exploration and analysis.
