History of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology: With an Epilogue on Psychiatry and the Mind-Body Relation

摘要

Edwin R. Wallace and John Gach intend their ambitious History of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology to be a reference book, an introduction and bibliography, a resource text for training programs as well as students and scholars, a demonstration of interpretative strategies in the history of psychiatry, and a book that is good for reading (xvii). Prolegomenon (two chapters on general approaches with annotated bibliographies), Periods (eleven chapters that cover antiquity through the twentieth century), Concepts and Topics (nine chapters on diagnosis, profession, and approaches to treatment), and Epilogue (five chapters that consider the relationship between mind and body over time).
