Content
The contributions are thematically broad and give an insight into the main interests and perceptions of psychiatry and psychosomatics at the beginning of the 19th century , without this classification being common at the time. The essays deal with the naming and classification of mental illnesses at the time, discuss possible connections between mental and physical disorders as well as connections between mental disorders and criminality .
The individual topics include: B. addictions , psychological disorders due to toxic influences ( mercury , narcotic plants), questions of psychosomatics (e.g. hypochondria , mental paralysis) such as affective disorders ( mania and melancholy ) are treated. Questions relating to the accommodation of people with mental disorders are discussed. Some essays offer case reports or introduce specific treatments. On the one hand, topics of religion, music, observations of animals are touched on, and on the other, philosophical aspects are touched upon. There is also a treatise by Friedrich Schiller on the connection between the “animal nature of man and his spiritual” from 1811, newly published.
