HEINROTH, Johann Christian August.

Lehrbuch der Störungen des Seelenlebens oder der Seelenstörungen und ihrer Behandlung. Vom rationalen Standpunkt aus entworfen.

One folding printed table. xii, 396 pp.; vi, 385 pp. Two vols. in one. 8vo, cont. speckled half-sheep & paste-paper boards, flat spine gilt, green leather lettering piece on spine. Leipzig: F.C.W. Vogel, 1818. First edition of the chief work of the famous German psychiatrist Heinroth (1773-1843). "Heinroth was probably the first clinical psychiatrist to sense the need of a unitary concept in psychology -- like that of the total personality today. He was probably the first to whom the ideational content of the mentally sick presented not merely a set of aberrations but a psychological process full of meaning."­Zilboorg & Henry, A History of Medical Psychology, p. 471. "There is still a great deal of value in his textbook [the present book], such as the attempt to classify a host of mental diseases, and his shrewd clinical conclusions."­Roback, History of Psychology and Psychiatry, p. 279. Pages 64-170 of Vol. I contain an early and valuable history of psychiatry, from antiquity to the 19th century. Also of interest is the fact that in this book (Vol. I, p. 143) appears for the first time the term "Psychiatrie" as it is still used in Germany. A very fine and attractive copy.
