Henri F. Ellenberger, the Swiss medical historian, is best
remembered today as the author of The Discovery of the Unconscious
(1970), a brilliant, encyclopedic study of psychiatric theory and
therapy from primitive times to the mid-twentieth century. However,
in addition to this well-known work, Ellenberger has written over
thirty essays in the history of the mental sciences. This
collection unites fourteen of Ellenberger's most interesting and
methodologically innovative historical essays, many of which draw
on new and rich bodies of primary materials. Several of the
articles appear here in English translation for the first time. The
essays deal with subjects such as the intellectual origins of
psycho-analysis, the work of the French psychological school of
Jean-Martin Charcot and Pierre Janet, the role of the "great
patients" in the history of psychiatry, and the cultural history of
psychiatry. The publication of these writings, which corresponds
with the opening in Paris of the Institut Henri Ellenberger, truly
establishes Ellenberger as the founding figure of the
historiography of psychiatry. Accompanying the essays are an
extensive interpretive introduction and a detailed bibliographical
essay by the editor. Originally published in 1993. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
