The question of whether someone is psychologically healthy or
mentally ill, and the fundamental nature of mental health
underlying that question has been debated in cultural, academic,
and clinical settings for millennia. This book provides an overview
of how people have conceptualized and understood mental illness
through the ages. The book begins by looking at mental illness in
humanity's evolutionary past then moves through the major
historical epochs: the mythological, the Classical, the Middle
Ages, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and modern, and the
postmodern. At each point, it focuses on major elements that
emerged regarding how people judged sanity and insanity and places
major emphasis on the growing fields of psychiatry and psychology
as they emerged and developed. As the book moves into the
twenty-first century, Dr. Jenkins presents his integrated model of
knowledge, a systemic, holistic model of the psyche that creates a
conceptual foundation for understanding both psychological wellness
and disorder and approaching assessment and diagnosis. This text
provides a valuable exploration of mental health and illness across
the ages and gives those already well versed in the subject matter
a fresh perspective on the past and new model of knowledge and
assessment for the future.
