Author Description

Excerpt from Notes on the History of Psychiatry, Vol. 3 Mental medicine does not fare any better in the standard text books of medical history, and the psychiatry of the ancients is disposed of with very hasty sketches; whereas her sister sciences are richly provided for, or even very complete, solid contributions made, as for instance the History of Obstetrics by Osiander and von Siebold.
