Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the belief that mental conditions, including insanity, originate from brain functions. The author traces the intellectual history of this idea from the ancient Greeks to the scientists of the late 19th-century, who pioneered the concept of localized brain functions. The author presents the ongoing quest to discover the link between mind and body, proposing that insanity may be caused by a diseased or abnormal condition of one or multiple brain organs. By connecting the mind's workings to physical causes, this book sets the stage for viewing mental health from a medical perspective, thus opening up new avenues for diagnosis and treatment, and ultimately lessening the stigma attached to mental illness This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
