LIVRO The course is a general teaching about mental illness (English Edition) PDF Arthur Strain

The existing guidelines on mental illnesses usually lack a historical sketch, so necessary for proper coverage of each scientific discipline; Brief historical information is available from Krafft-Ebing, whose leadership does not correspond to modern scientific views, in part to Korsakov; Even in the vast leadership of Kraepelin this side of psychiatry is given, in comparison with the dimensions of leadership, little space. Thus, the historical introduction, entering the course read by the teachers of mental illness (from such an introduction usually begins its course, for example, Academician VM Bekhterev), is communicated to the listeners only in the form of an oral presentation, and the latter are deprived of the opportunity Refresh the content of this part of the course in your memory. Only what has been said relates even more to information on psychology, without mastering the foundations of which one can not begin to study mental illnesses. The lack of teaching psychology in the medical school, with single exceptions, imposes on the teacher the doctrine of mental illnesses the duty to prescribe to his course although a short psycho-physiological entry; As experience shows, listeners are very interested in this part of teaching and are constantly asked to give them the opportunity to fix in memory and to learn what they have heard; The reference to sources and manuals does little to help the case, since at the present time the teaching of psychology must be related to experiment; Of course, the teacher of psychiatry does not have the full opportunity to take full responsibility for this, but he can accompany the lectures with the necessary demonstrations in the psychological laboratory without which the psychiatry department is unthinkable; Psycho-physiological entry is necessary and in order to show the listeners from the very first steps that without mastering the methods of experimental psycho-scientific research at the present time, accurate study of the soul-and-pain is inconceivable, and future specialists should acquire the corresponding knowledge in practical Lessons.Based on these considerations, I decided to publish the first two editions of my course, thinking that this would meet the wishes of my listeners, making it easier for them to study psychiatry. The course of my course is consistent with the possibility of its presentation in the medical faculties of universities and in general in special medical schools, but those wishing to go deeper into the study of the presented will find the necessary instructions in the cited literature sources.
