Harris. 330 $aThe historians, classicists and psychiatrists who have come together to produce Mental Disorders in the Classical World aim to explain how the Greeks and their Roman successors conceptualized, diagnosed and treated mental disorders. The Greeks initiated the secular understanding of mental illness, and have left us a large body of penetrating and thought-provoking writing on the subject, ranging in time from Homer to the sixth century AD. With the conceptual basis of modern psychiatry once again under intense debate, we need to learn from other rational approaches even when they lack modern scientific underpinnings. Meanwhile this volume adds a rich chapter to the cultural and medical history of antiquity. The contributors include a high proportion of the best-regarded scholars in this field, together with papers by some of its rising stars. 410 0$aColumbia studies in the classical tradition ;$vv. 38. 606 $aMental illness$zGreece$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMental illness$zRome$xHistory 606 $aMedicine, Greek and Roman 615 0$aMental illness$xHistory 615 0$aMental illness$xHistory. 615 0$aMedicine, Greek and Roman. 676 $a616.89 701 $aHarris$b William V$g(William Vernon)$0209722 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820673703321 996 $aMental disorders in the classical world$92775328 997 $aUNINA
