"Charcot in Morocco" is the first-ever publication of Dr.
Jean-Martin Charcot's travel diary of his 1887 trip to Morocco.
Considered the father of neuropathology, Charcot (1825-1893) is a
seminal character in the history of neurology and psychology. His
Moroccan travel diary includes his "objective" observations of the
local Jewish community, which only fortified his assumptions about
the relationship between race and neuropathology. These became a
conspicuous feature of his ideas about the hereditary origins of
nervous ailments. His ideas - taught as doctrine to a vast
audience, including a young Sigmund Freud - reveal the convergence
of clinical observation and European anti-Semitism at the end of
the nineteenth century.
Including an enlightening critical introduction by renowned
Charcot expert Toby Gelfand, "Charcot in Morocco" provides new
insights into the personality of this influential figure and his
perspectives on the "Orient" and its inhabitants.
