BENNETT SIMON, 1978 1st ED HC DJ VG+ CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS Very Good plus condition hardback book with dark green cloth-covered boards and gold imprinted spine lettering.

Published in London, England. With at least 10 ancient Greek illustrations, the 336 pages are fully indexed and annotated at end of book. This book attempts to deal with the central problem in contemporary psychiatry by exploring the thinking of Greek antiquity, a vital period in the history of psychiatry. By examining Homer, the tragedians, Plato and Hippocrates, Dr. Simon explores the nature and origins of the two fundamental polarities in psychiatry today: the intrapsycic versus the social model of the origins and treatment of mental disturbance, and the medical versus the psychological model. The application of all these models to the elucidation of one particular condition is presented in a case study of hysteria. He concludes by considering the requirements for a synthesis of these divergent perspectives. Shipped via USPS Media Mail Item location: 3rd floor books
