Publisher's Synopsis
""Diseases of Memory, Diseases of the Will, and Diseases of Personality"" is a pioneering work in the field of psychology, written by Theodule Ribot in 1883. The book explores the various ways in which the human mind can be affected by illness and injury, and how these conditions can impact memory, willpower, and personality. Ribot's analysis is based on his extensive research into the psychological and neurological effects of disease, as well as his observations of patients suffering from various forms of mental illness. The book is divided into three main sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of mental health. The first section examines the various types of memory disorders that can arise from brain damage or disease, including amnesia, dementia, and retrograde memory loss. The second section explores the ways in which mental illness can affect a person's willpower, motivation, and decision-making abilities. The final section of the book discusses the impact of personality disorders on a person's behavior, emotions, and relationships with others. Throughout the book, Ribot provides detailed case studies and clinical examples to illustrate his points, making it an invaluable resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, and anyone interested in the workings of the human mind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
