Originally published in 1967 Medieval Minds looks at the Middle
Ages as a period with changing attitudes towards mental health and
its treatment. The book argues that it was a period that that
bridged the ancient with the modern, ignorance with knowledge and
superstition with science. The Middle Ages spanned almost a
millennium in the history of the humanities and provided the people
of this period with the benefit of this knowledge. The book looks
at the promise and progress which was reflected by thinkers such as
Augustin and Aurelianus, Alexander of Tralles and Paul of Aegina.
The book also looks at martyrs like Valentine and Dympna, and the
patrons of those afflicted with illnesses such as epilepsy and
insanity. Written by the psychologist Thomas Francis Graham, this
book provides a distinct and unique insight into the mind of those
living in the medieval period and will be of interest to academics
of history and literature alike.
