Descrição do livro

Insanity And Its Treatment: Lectures by George Fielding Blandford presents a late-19th-century medical-legal course on insanity, focusing on prognosis, management, and the Lunacy Acts in Britain. It combines clinical description, treatment philosophy, and detailed legal procedures for handling private and pauper lunatics, with guidance for physicians who certify or witness. The lectures frame insanity as a brain-based condition, discussing non-delusional forms such as moral and emotional insanity, impulsive insanity, and dementia, and examine the law governing detention, guardianship, and release. The work emphasizes early intervention, moral treatment, rest and occupation, and the role of institutions, while outlining psychiatric classification, case vignettes, and post-mortem learning. It also surveys the administrative framework—orders for reception, medical certificates, statements, and oversight by Commissioners in Lunacy—along with the ethical responsibilities of examiners and attendants. The text aims to equip clinicians, students, and legal professionals with a comprehensive medical-legal approach to insanity, its diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment within 19th-century Britain.
