Bücher von Benjamin Rush

This early work attempts to describe and categorize mental illnesses; first published in 1812, it predates the establishment of psychology and psychiatry as formal fields of medicine.The author notes a variety of correlations in those who suffer from mental illness; their lifestyles and professions, and whether they are related to those with similar ailments. He concisely observes how manias - then a general term for madness - manifest. The symptoms of various kinds of illness, and their effects on memory, behavior, physical condition and personality, are listed. Most of the terminology and suggestions for treatment are outdated and obsolete, but carry historic value in showing how the earliest treatments were administered to those incapacitated by diseases of the mind.Benjamin Rush was a Founding Father who held the role of Surgeon General in the United States. He was a bold and pioneering researcher and practitioner of medicine, with his attempts to understand mental maladies applauded during and after his death. At a time when the mentally stricken were confined to asylums, often in degrading and inhumane conditions, Rush's researches and learning represented a significant evolution in the field. Considered a symbol of the medical Enlightenment, in the modern day Rush is termed the 'father of American psychiatry'.

An Inquiry Into The Influence Of Physical Causes Upon The Moral Faculty is a book written by Benjamin Rush and published in 1839. The book explores the relationship between physical causes and the moral faculty, or the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Rush was a physician and signer of the Declaration of Independence, and he believed that physical causes such as disease, climate, and diet could affect a person's moral character.In the book, Rush argues that physical causes can impact the brain and nervous system, which in turn can affect a person's moral judgment and behavior. He also examines the role of education and religion in shaping moral character, and suggests that a better understanding of the physical causes of moral behavior could lead to more effective interventions and treatments.The book is written in a scholarly style and draws on a range of sources, including medical literature, philosophy, and religious texts. It is considered an important early work in the field of medical psychology and continues to be studied and cited by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

?This autobiography is always good, often delightful reading. It is not merely one man's story but a social history of the first order...the life story and unadorned thoughts of a talented, honorable, pig-headed, far-thinking, outspoken good doctor, who has, like all doctors, many a tale to tell.?-New York Herald Tribune Weekly Book Review
