General paralysis of the insane (GPI), the most commonly diagnosed of the neurosyphilitic disorders, has been devastating both in terms of its severity and incidence. Using the rich laboratory and asylum records of lowland Scotland as a case study, Gayle Davis examines the evolution of GPI as a disease category from a variety of perspectives: social, medical, and pathological. Through exploring case notes and the impact of new diagnostic techniques and therapies, such as the Wassermann Test and Malarial Therapy, the reader gains a unique insight into both patients and practitioners. Significant insights are gained into the socio?sexual background and medical experience of patients, as well as the clinical ideas and judgmental behaviour of the practitioners confronting this disease. ?The Cruel Madness of Love? will be of interest to anyone wishing to explore the historical relationship between sexuality, morality and disease. 410 0$aClio medica (Amsterdam, Netherlands) ;$v85. 410 0$aWellcome series in the history of medicine. 606 $aNeurosyphilis$zScotland$xHistory 606 $aPsychiatry$zScotland$xHistory 615 0$aNeurosyphilis$xHistory. 615 0$aPsychiatry$xHistory. 676 $a616.9513 700 $aDavis$b Gayle$01161222 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782985703321 996 $a"The cruel madness of love"$93702860 997 $aUNINA
