How the brain lost its mind : sex, hysteria and the riddle of mental illness / Allan Ropper and B.D. Burrell. by Ropper, Allan H, author., Burrell, Brian, author. London : Atlantic Books, 2020. Description:  xii, 243 pages ; 24 cm. Summary:  In 1882, Jean-Martin Charcot was the premiere physician in Paris, having just established a neurology clinic at the infamous Salpetriere Hospital, a place that was called a 'grand asylum of human misery'. Assessing the dismal conditions, he quickly upgraded the facilities and in doing so, revolutionized the treatment of mental illness. Many of Charcot's patients had neurosyphilis (the advanced form of syphilis), a disease of mad poets, novelists, painters, and musicians, and a driving force behind the overflow of patients in Europe's asylums. Yet, Charcot's work took a bizarre turn when he brought mesmerism, hypnotism into his clinic, abandoning his pursuit of the biological basis of illness in favour of the far sexier and theatrical treatment of female 'hysterics', whose symptoms mimic those seen in brain disease, but were elusive in origin. This and a general fear of contagion set the stage for Sigmund Freud, whose seductive theory, Freudian analysis, brought sex and hysteria onto the psychiatrist couch, leaving the brain behind. How The Brain Lost Its Mind tells this rich and compelling story, and raises a host of philosophical and practical questions.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 616.89 Rop 2020 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
