Forty Years of Psychiatry
No Customer Reviews
"Forty Years of Psychiatry" is a fantastic account of the history of psychology and related fields by William A. White. Psychology is the science of behaviour and mind, including conscious and unconscious phenomena, as well as feeling and thought. This volume looks at the history of psychoanalysis at the turn of the twentieth century, with reference to notable practitioners and developments. Contents include: "Background and Trends", "My Introduction to Psychiatry", "Progress", "Transition from the Humanitarian to the Scientific", "Saint Elizabeths", "Europe-Military Psychiatry", "Developments", "The Beginning of the Century", "The Value of an Idea-Psychoanalysis", "The Law and the Social Sciences", etc. William Alanson White (1870 - 1937) was an American neurologist and psychiatrist. Other notable works by this author include: "Mental Mechanisms" (1911), "Outlines of Psychiatry" (1915), and "Diseases of the Nervous System" (1915). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
