A piercing look at a fledgling mind, Benign Stupors opens a window onto a volatile era when doctors first wrestled with what we now call mood disorders.

Produktbeschreibung
A piercing look at a fledgling mind, Benign Stupors opens a window onto a volatile era when doctors first wrestled with what we now call mood disorders. This is not merely a case study; it is a careful, humanised map of a new manic depressive reaction as observed in early twentieth-century Europe. This historical psychological monograph offers more than clinical notes. Through Hoch's close observations, the book guides modern mental health professionals and clinical psychology readers through the evolution of classification of disorders, the tensions of neuropsychiatry classics, and the perennial question of how mood states shape identity. It honours rigorous scholarship while remaining readable, shaping a narrative that feels both scholarly and hauntingly contemporary. A note on literary and historical significance anchors the work: it captures the atmosphere, debates, and methodologies of early 1900s Europe, making it essential for collectors and casual readers who value context, nuance, and the origins of psychiatric thinking. Benign Stupors will resonate with those who seek insight into mood disorder exploration without sacrificing literary reverence. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This is a compact, profound encounter with a pivotal moment in psychiatric research and a foundational text for anyone curious about the roots of bipolar disorder early theories and European mental health history.
