Book excerpt: "This chapter considers the prevalence and causes of insanity in antiquity; insanity in modern life; and the self-prevention of insanity. Of the various social evils which present themselves in our age, those connected with the genesis of insanity are, it must be admitted, deserving of the consideration of all who care for their race, and wish to lessen the sum of human misery. I trust that the facts contained in this volume will tend to stimulate all social reformers in their great, and often discouraging, labours, whether carried on among the working or the higher classes, so it be not done in a narrow fanatical spirit, in other words, not judgingly, but with judgment"--Preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insanity in Ancient and Modern Life: With Chapters on Its Prevention A remarkable feature of the present day is the interest felt by the public at large in ques tions relative to insanity. So far from its being confined to the Medical Profession, legislators, lawyers, clergymen, sociologists, metaphysicians, have their attention forcibly drawn to the sub jcet, and are keenly interested in it. The same may be said of many of those whose friends suffer from mental derangement. To those also who may reasonably suspect that they have the seeds of madness sown in their own constitution, or are conscious of a tendency to irregular mental action, the matter' treated of in the following pages possesses, if a painful, surely a practical importance. I hope that the action of individuals on themselves, with a view of preventing attacks of mental disorder, will be rendered more definite, and therefore more successful, by following the indications pointed out in the chapters on the Prevention of Insanity. To this subject I briefly adverted in a recent number of Macmillan (of which Chapters V. And VI. Are an expansion), but in the succeeding por tion of the work I have entered at some length into the individual management called for, when the first symptoms display themselves, desiring to offer in these chapters, hints calculated, if adopted, to ward off attacks of threatened insanity. Of the various social evils which present them selves in our age, those connected with the genesis of insanity are, it must be admitted, deserving of the consideration of all who care for their race, and wish to lessen the sum of human misery. I trust that the facts contained in this volume will tend to stimulate all social reformers in their great, and often discouraging, labours, whether carried on among the working or the higher classes, so it be not done in a narrow fanatical spirit, in other words, not judgingly, but with judgment.

Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout most of history, in China the insane were kept within the home and treated by healers who claimed no specialized knowledge of their condition. In the first decade of the twentieth century, however, psychiatric ideas and institutions began to influence longstanding beliefs about the proper treatment for the mentally ill. In The Invention of Madness, Emily Baum traces a genealogy of insanity from the turn of the century to the onset of war with Japan in 1937, revealing the complex and convoluted ways in which “madness” was transformed in the Chinese imagination into “mental illness.” Focusing on typically marginalized historical actors, including municipal functionaries and the urban poor, The Invention of Madness shifts our attention from the elite desire for modern medical care to the ways in which psychiatric discourses were implemented and redeployed in the midst of everyday life. New meanings and practices of madness, Baum argues, were not just imposed on the Beijing public but continuously invented by a range of people in ways that reflected their own needs and interests. Exhaustively researched and theoretically informed, The Invention of Madness is an innovative contribution to medical history, urban studies, and the social history of twentieth-century China.
