History of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology - With an Epilogue on Psychiatry and the Mind-Body Relation (Paperback, 2008 ed.)

This book chronicles the conceptual and methodological facets of psychiatry and medical psychology throughout history. There are no recent books covering so wide a time span. Many of the facets covered are pertinent to issues in general medicine, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and the social sciences today. The divergent emphases and interpretations among some of the contributors point to the necessity for further exploration and analysis.
