Early Works on Mental Diseases

This early work is a fascinating look at Mental Diseases with much of the information still useful and practical today.

Contents include; Psychological Introduction, History of the Care of the Mentally Sick, Some Legal Aspects of Mental Disorder, Causes-General Classification of Mental Disease, Prevention of Mental Disease, Qualifications for Mental Nursing-Symptoms of Mental Disease, Nursing Measures-The Administration of food etc, Dangers & Precautions-Accidents & Emergencies, Nursing in the Organic Psychoses, Nursing in the Toxic Psychoses, Nursing in the Infective-Exhaustive Psychoses, Nursing in the Constitutional Psychoses, and Hydrotherapy.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
