The American Journal Of Insanity 1861 Vol 18 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The American Journal of Insanity, 1861, Vol. 18 The exact position of this system in the psychological medicine of the past, and its relations to the present stage of progress in that de partment, are less easy to determine. Esquirol gave a powerful ini pulse through his writings to the record Of facts connected with in sanity, and the extent and accuracy of his observations were the just grounds of his fame. But he carefully abstains from advancing any theory in connection with them, and does not even point out the com parative value Of facts, or discriminate between them in any way. They are arranged in their merest accidental relations, and thus pre sented with the least possible regard to their meaning or use. This was, of course, all that could be expected from one whose-chief mis sion it was to overcome prejudices, to dissipate errors, and to make known truths of useful practical application in the treat ment of the insane. But his example, so far as a practical psychol ogy is concerned, has been perhaps too closely followed by the larger number of those who have succeeded him.

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.

Representing Epilepsy, the latest volume in Liverpool University Press’s acclaimed Representations series, is the first book that looks at the cultural and literary history of epilepsy, a condition that afflicts at least 50 million people worldwide. Jeannette Stirling argues that neurological discourse about epilepsy from the late nineteenth century through to the mid-twentieth century was forged as much by cultural conditions of the times as it is by the science of western medicine. Stirling also explores narratives of epilepsy in works as diverse as David Copperfield and The X Files, drawing out the many ideas of social disorder, tainted bloodlines, sexual deviance, spiritualism, and criminality they depict. This pathbreaking book will be required reading for cultural disability studies scholars and for anyone seeking a better understanding of this very common condition.
