Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Neurasthenia and Its Mental Symptoms The plain philosophy of treatment is to recognize the mental symptoms as first showing the need of it, and to address it to the restoration of a healthy emotional tone as the central motive element; the lowering of this, and the weakening of attention and inhibitory control, are always the earliest Signs of neurasthenia. The maintenance of a normal sense of well-being is the sign of bodily health. Normal fatigue is simply wholesome tire; exercise should always be kept within the limits of pathological fatigue, in which the sensory over-tire, as fatigue-anaesthesia, marks the subtle beginning of danger. The natural safeguard is in the early recognition of the other mental effects of fatigue. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Hysteria Neurasthenia (Classic Reprint) by : John Michell Clarke
Download or read book Hysteria Neurasthenia (Classic Reprint) written by John Michell Clarke and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hysteria Neurasthenia I have attempted in this little book to give a concise account of Hysteria and Neurasthenia. The clinical aspect of these diseases has been kept in view throughout. The literature of the subject is now so enormous that without very greatly exceeding my limits it was obviously impossible to deal at all fully with it, but it would not be right for me not to acknowledge, even thus imperfectly, my great indebtedness to former writers, and especially the more recent ones, on Hysteria and Neurasthenia. The perusal of their works, so many of them distinguished by wealth of observation and breadth of knowledge, makes me fully conscious of my own shortcomings. Whilst, however, my endeavour has been to keep within moderate limits, and to give the results of my own clinical observation, I trust that I have left out nothing of importance, and that this little work may prove of some service as a practical guide, and that the statements made in it have at least the merits of accuracy and clearness.

Book Synopsis Neurasthenic Nation by : David G. Schuster
Download or read book Neurasthenic Nation written by David G. Schuster and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the United States rushed toward industrial and technological modernization in the late nineteenth century, people worried that the workplace had become too competitive, the economy too turbulent, domestic chores too taxing, while new machines had created a fast-paced environment that sickened the nation. Physicians testified that, without a doubt, modern civilization was causing a host of ills—everything from irritability to insomnia, lethargy to weight loss, anxiety to lack of ambition, and indigestion to impotence. They called this condition neurasthenia. Neurasthenic Nation investigates how the concept of neurasthenia helped doctors and patients, men and women, and advertisers and consumers negotiate changes commonly associated with “modernity.” Combining a survey of medical and popular literature on neurasthenia with original research into rare archives of personal letters, patient records, and corporate files, David Schuster charts the emergence of a “neurasthenic nation”—a place where people saw their personal health as inextricably tied to the pitfalls and possibilities of a changing world.

Book Synopsis Mental Disorders in the Classical World by : William V. Harris
Download or read book Mental Disorders in the Classical World written by William V. Harris and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historians, classicists and psychiatrists who have come together to produce Mental Disorders in the Classical World aim to explain how the Greeks and their Roman successors conceptualized, diagnosed and treated mental disorders. The Greeks initiated the secular understanding of mental illness, and have left us a large body of penetrating and thought-provoking writing on the subject, ranging in time from Homer to the sixth century AD. With the conceptual basis of modern psychiatry once again under intense debate, we need to learn from other rational approaches even when they lack modern scientific underpinnings. Meanwhile this volume adds a rich chapter to the cultural and medical history of antiquity. The contributors include a high proportion of the best-regarded scholars in this field, together with papers by some of its rising stars.

Book Synopsis Blood, Body and Soul by : Tamy Burnett
Download or read book Blood, Body and Soul written by Tamy Burnett and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ever-popular "Whedonverse" television shows--Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and Dollhouse--have inspired hundreds of articles and dozens of books. Curiously, the focus of much of the scholarship invokes philosophical, ethical, metaphysical and other cerebral perspectives. Yet, these shows are action-adventure shows, telling stories through physical bodies of many varied and unique forms. Characters fight and die, suffer grave injuries and traumas, and are physically transformed. Their bodies bear the brunt of their battles against evil, corruption and injustice. Through 17 insightful and captivating essays, this collection centers the physical spectacle of these televisual series. Chapters examine how both disabled and super-powered individuals navigate their differing levels of ability; how the practice of medicine and medical practitioners are represented; and how wellness is understood and depicted, both physically and mentally. Other essays focus on storylines involving specific body parts, the intersection of literal and metaphorical trauma and the processes of recovery from injury, illness and impairment. Each author offers a unique and thought-provoking analysis in an area previously under-explored or altogether missing from existing scholarship on the Whedonverse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Masterfully integrating Europe-wide debates in science, philosophy, technology, economics, and social policy, Rabinbach has provided us with a profoundly original understanding of the productivist obsessions from which we are still painfully freeing ourselves. . . . A splendid example of the mutual enrichment of intellectual and social history. It goes well beyond its central concern with the 'science of work' to illuminate everything it discusses, from Marxism to the social uses of photography, from cultural decadence to the impact of the First World War."—Martin Jay, University of California, Berkeley
Book Synopsis Popular Fiction and Brain Science in the Late Nineteenth Century by : Anne Stiles
Download or read book Popular Fiction and Brain Science in the Late Nineteenth Century written by Anne Stiles and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-22 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1860s and 1870s, leading neurologists used animal experimentation to establish that discrete sections of the brain regulate specific mental and physical functions. These discoveries had immediate medical benefits: David Ferrier's detailed cortical maps, for example, saved lives by helping surgeons locate brain tumors and haemorrhages without first opening up the skull. These experiments both incited controversy and stimulated creative thought, because they challenged the possibility of an extra-corporeal soul. This book examines the cultural impact of neurological experiments on late-Victorian Gothic romances by Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, H. G. Wells and others. Novels like Dracula and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde expressed the deep-seated fears and visionary possibilities suggested by cerebral localization research, and offered a corrective to the linearity and objectivity of late Victorian neurology.
