This ambitious volume, worldwide in scope and ranging from
antiquity to the present, examines the human encounter with
Unreason in all its manifestations, the challenges it poses to
society and our responses to it. In twelve chapters organized
chronologically from the Bible to Freud, from exorcism to
mesmerism, from Bedlam to Victorian asylums, from the theory of
humours to modern pharmacology, Andrew Scull writes compellingly
about madness, its meanings, its consequences and our attempts to
understand and treat it.
