The Anatomy of Madness: New Directions in the History of Psychiatry

After decades of being one of the most polemical fields in medical history, the history of psychiatry has entered a peaceful and productive maturity. The long vexatious debates over the 'treatment-incarceration' dichotomy have subsided, to be replaced with more complex considerations of psychiatry and psychiatric institutions. In contrast to the sharply divided camps of proand anti-psychiatry that dominated historical discourse in the 1960s and 1970s, this 'post-Foucaultian' generation of historians lacks a set political agenda. Moreover, the once dominant focus on nineteenth-century psychiatrists and their asylums has broadened to include a more diverse range of topics from the early modern period

People and Ideas

Institutions and Society, edited by W. F. Bynum, Roy Porter, and Michael Shepherd (Anatomy of Madness, Essays in the History of Psychiatry, vol 2, seminar, London, 1982-1983), 283 pp, $42, New York, Tavistock Publications, 1985. In an era when physicians are ever increasingly confronted by great upheavals in their professional lives, the opportunity to dip into the past is most welcome. This return is not regression; it is an opportunity for renewal. We can observe how lines of thought developed, how disciplines evolved, how society accepted different ideas about madness and emotional and mental illness, and how institutions came into being to deal with the newer conceptualizations. The two volumes under review provide the reader with an oasis with which to relax, be involved, and be refreshed by scholarly essays in the history of psychiatry. The first volume focuses on People and Ideas and the second on fInstitutions and Society .

The Anatomy of Madness

The Anatomy of Madness

The anatomy of madness: psychosis as functional hippocampal afterdischarge.

Psychosis is viewed theoretically as hippocampal seizure and afterdischarge resulting from conditions of stressful stimulation and/or inhibitory disinhibition. Key anatomical structures involved and their dynamic interrelationships in health and psychosis are discussed. Several pathological physical conditions as well as certain autostimulatory behavior are seen as contributory or perpetuating to this condition.
