This book was released on 2017-01-08 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Insanity, Vol. 35: Edited by the Medical Officers of the New York State Lunatic Asylum The full recognition of the harmony that should exist between the claims of medical science and the demands of criminal law, is a social problem of the first magnitude. Notwithstanding the rich and varied literature, the manifold discussions, the numerous trials with their accompanying forensic display, that enter into the his tory of the struggle to secure substantial justice for the insane, or to defeat the pretences of the wicked, the subject is vet of no less interest than importance. It is of interest as are all the questions that involve the study of mankind by man; it is of importance as upon the conclusions hang the lives of so many fellow-beings. Although it has been so ably treated by members of this body, that their conclusions have modified the medical jurisprudence of more than one nation of the earth, the subject has yet a timely interest from the persistent efforts that have been made to turn back the hands upon the clock of time, and to return to ancient legal by-ways, long since abandoned for the open roads of scientific investigation established since the days of Coke and Blackstone. Read before the Association of American Superintendents, Washington, D. May, 1878. In modern times, insanity has been the subject of legal investigation, when questions of capacity for the management of affairs, or the validity Of wills, or Of confinement to prevent injury to self or others were in volved, but most frequently probably when offered as a bar to punishment by criminal prosecution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Insanity, 1877-8, Vol. 34 To reflect, therefore, is to deliver one's self up to the automatic action of cerebral cells, which, by mutual re actions and inter-associations, eliminate psychical force which is, therefore, originated, controlled and preserved by certain chemico-molecular, or vital disturbances of their static equilibrium. This force is thus discharged or disgorged and, like all purely material displays of functional activity, is only guaged and regulated by the physiological activities of the particular portions of the the cerebral organism to which they appertain. Under these same circumstances memory merely represents a certain primordial property of nervous element. All the processes of intellectuality are performed in a blind, unconscious, irresistible manner. Automatic activity reigns supreme, and thereby becomes the sole force which rules and orders the intellectual operations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Insanity, 1879-80, Vol. 36 I have selected, as the subject of this paper, The Responsibility of the Insane, in Asylums. In other words, it may be designated an inquiry in respect to the responsibility of the insane, while subject to the duress and regulations of an asylum or hospital for treatment. It is an aspect of the great question of mental responsibility, from the standpoint in which we see the most of it; but so far as my acquaintance with the literature of the subject goes, has not been specially discussed. That it is an aspect of sufficient importance to be separately treated, I am disposed to believe and while I do not expect to treat it exhaustively, I hope to open it for an expression of views that may lead to our mutual and practical advantage. The civil responsibility of the insane has, I conceive, numerous aspects and relations in which it may be viewed, and is worthy of careful consideration in any direction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Insanity, 1881-82, Vol. 38 The venerable and sturdy Dr. Rockwell, with his manly bearing and strong good sense, also graced that Boston assemblage. He was a man of few words, but these were well chosen, and were deferentially listened to. John E. Tyler, afterwards the successor of Dr. Bell, in the mclean Asylum, was another in attendance at the Boston meeting. On that occasion, if I remem ber aright, he spoke little, but it was impossible to look upon that broad, high forehead, and those sage searching, thought-beaming eyes, Without the conviction that we were in the presence of powerful latent genius. He, too soon, was removed from his sphere of useful ness, but not before he had earned for himself, and bequeathed to his associates, a reputation which will serve as an incitement to them to emulate his example, and to strive to merit some measure of that honor and public gratitude which, it is pleasing to know, were awarded to him.

This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Insanity, 1888-1889, Vol. 45: Edited by the Medical Officers of the New York State Lunatic Asylum Owing to the crowded state of this asylum several years ago, I had to send a considerable number of patients to other asylums, and nearly all these patients were much improved by the change. I noticed the same thing in a group of patients I took from another asylum. I firmly believe that with what we call our chronic patients, we should frequently shift them from ward to ward, change their occupation and subject them to new influences. Were I specially interested in any private patient I should, in the event of his not recovering speedily, give him a change of asylum. More interest is taken in a fresh case than an old one, and even change of sur roundings frequently stirs mental action hitherto dormant. I am stating what is, I think, universally accepted, when I say that the vast majority of recoveries in asylums take place within the first year of residence. I have looked up the returns both of this asylum for five years, and those of the Royal Edinburgh Asylum for a similar period. Taking the returns of this asylum for five years ending 1887, I find that there were 316 recoveries 233within the first year, 53 under two years, and only 30 above two years' residence; that is to say, per cent recovered within the year, per cent in the period under two years, and per cent in the period above two years. In the Royal Edinburgh Asylum in a five years' period ending 1886, 617 patients recovered 533 under the year, 51 under two years, and 33 above two years; that is, per cent in the first period, per cent in the second, and per cent in the third period. It is unnecessary for me to give further evidence of what is generally allowed to be a fact, viz.: that recoveries after a period of say two years are rare, and that recovery after prolonged attacks of insanity are very rare.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Distrust of Insane Asylums: Address Delivered at the Graduating Exercises of the Medical Department of the University of California, November 15, 1887 Before us is a class of young men and women, strong in the vigor of youth, and rich in hopes for the future, who are here to - night that their labors may be crowned with recognition, and to receive some last words of counsel as they start out on life's journey. The period of preparation is over, the stage of dependence on others, the life of easy irresponsibility, of careless happiness all these are now passed. The time for action has come, for achievements, for results. They are entering upon the calling that is to engross their thoughts and energies till they die. Blessed is he, says Emerson, who has found his life's work and rejoices in it. But first let us take advantage of an Opportunity that too seldom presents itself to medical men, that of addressing a cultured San Francisco audience on a subject pertaining to our profession. It is one that cannot fail to prove interesting, for it appeals to our common instincts, it belongs to our common humanity. That subject is insanity.

During the present year, formed part of a controversy on the treatment of the Insane in the United States, which has now been happily ended by the Editor of the Lancet making the statement in his issue of September 16th, that he has neither said nor implied that there were no good and well-managed asylums in the United States nor has he stigmatised the alienists of America as 'mad-doc'tors' in reproach, and con demned the whole body of psychologists across the'atlantic for faults in which they do not all participate. The Editor of the Lancet has, moreover, done an act of justice to Dr. Nichols, the President of the Association of Superinten dents of American Asylums, by publishing the verdict which was unanimously agreed to by the Committee of Inquiry of Congress, whereby Dr. Nichols was acquitted of the grievous but un founded charges made against him.
