Beskrivning

Mandeville’s aim was to delineate his own cure for hypochondria and hysteria, which consisted of a talking cure followed by diet and exercise, but also to discuss the practice of medicine in England and continental Europe at a time when physicians were beginning to lose ground to apothecaries.

Recensioner i media

“By exploring the deep‐time history of psychoanalysis, the book will be of interest to a broad audience, from psychoanalysts to students, curious readers, and historians of mentality. It is a reflection on the very essence of psychoanalysis and will serve a basis for further explorations in multiple directions. … Mandeville's text and the added information form a well-balanced sum of primary data and explanatory material, which will serve as a basis for psychoanalytic analysis and introspection.” (Alain Touwaide, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2018)
