KRAEPELIN, Emil. Psychiatrie Ein Lehrbuch Fur Studierende Und Arzte...

Leipzig: Verlag Von Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1909-1915.In four volumes.
Eighth Completely Revised Edition. From the library of Dr. C.B. Farrar
with his bookplate. 4to., orig. brown cloth. With numerous tables and
illustrations. About fine. Emil Kraepelin [1856-1926] was a pioneer
in the development of psychiatry as a scientific discipline. He was
convinced that all mental illness had an organic cause, and he was one
of the first scientists to emphasize brain pathology in mental
illness. A renowned clinical and experimental psychiatrist, Kraepelin
developed our modern classification system for mental disease. After
analyzing thousands of case studies, he introduced and defined the
terms "dementia praecox" (schizophrenia), "manic-depressive
psychosis," and "paranoia." As a founder of psychopharmacology,
Kraepelin's experimental work focused on the effects of intoxicants on
the central nervous system, on the nature of sleep, and on the effects
of fatigue on the body. (Ency of Psychology) Garrison & Morton

moral insanity. In 1842, following up this suggestion, he published On
the different forms of insanity in relation to jurisprudence designed
for the use of persons concerned in legal questions regarding
unsoundness of mind. G & M 4928, Norman 1747.

65.(Science - Psychiatry) RUSH,
Benjamin. Medical Inquiries And Observations Upon The Diseases Of The
Mind.
Philadelphia: Published by Kimber & Richardson, 1812. First edition,
second issue. Tall 8vo., full contemporary calf, leather label, viii,
367pp. Some foxing throughout o/w a near fine copy. The first
American book on psychiatry, first published in 1812. "Of this work
Daniel Hack Tuke states that had Rush written nothing else, it would
given him an enduring name in the republic of medical letters.
Considering the state of the science of psychiatry in Rush's time, it
is one of the most noteworthy books on the subject." This important
contribution a few months before Rush's death, and on it rests the
sobriquet, applied to him, by Charles K. Mills, of "Father of American
Psychiatry." He recognizes in this treatise, "the physical, mental and
moral causes of insanity...He regarded disorders of the mind as
forming part of the general course of medicine, and, as indicated in a
published syllabus, insisted upon their being placed in the
curriculum.... He also recognizes that in the way of the bookseller
lies mental derangement when he gives, as one of its causes, "the
frequent and rapid transition of the mind from one subject to another.
It is said that booksellers have sometimes become deranged from this
cause." Garrison & Morton 4924, Norman 1867.
