Publisher's Synopsis
Observations On Mental Derangement is a book written by Andrew Combe that explores the application of phrenology to the understanding of mental illness. The book delves into the causes, symptoms, nature, and treatment of insanity, using the principles of phrenology as a guide. Phrenology is a pseudoscientific theory that suggests that the shape and size of the human skull can reveal information about a person's personality and mental abilities. Combe's book examines how phrenology can be used to identify and treat mental illness, and provides a detailed analysis of various types of insanity. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of psychiatry and the development of theories about mental illness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
