Book desription: Springer, 2008. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Wallace, a specialist in neuropsychiatry and human behavior and Gach, an antiquarian bookseller specializing in books on psychiatry and mental illness have joined forces to edit this compendium of essays on the history of psychiatry and medical psychology. Written by an interdisciplinary team of historians (including Sander Gilman, Dora Weiner, Hannah Decker, and the recently deceased George Mora), the 27 essays begin with discussion of historiograhy and context, including an annotated bibliography, followed by overviews of mind and madness in classical antiquity through the early 19th century. Following are contributions devoted to concepts and topics such as melancholia and depression, schizophrenia, psychosomatic medicine, neurology's influence on the field, secular psychotherapy (hypnosis and the alternate-consciousness paradigm), and psychoanalysis in central Europe and in the US. The last section contains four essays on mind-body connections, in which Freud's observations are still a starting point. (©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)
