Excerpt from A Clinical Manual of Mental Diseases
Realizing the urgent needs of the medical student and of the practising physician, this book, which is based upon the annual course of lectures delivered by the author at the Jefferson Medical College, has been prepared from a purely practical point of view. In the classification, general arrangement and descriptions, the author has endeavored to present the sub ject in a simple and yet thorough manner, and, at the same time, to keep the volume within the limits of a convenient manual. Emphasis has been laid upon the clinical pictures presented, upon prognosis, and upon treatment. It is the general practitioner, the family physician, who sees the pa tient first, and he should be sufficiently informed to be able to recognize mental diseases in their early stages. He should know What to do under given conditions, when to commit and when not to commit a patient to an asylum, and how the patient should be treated in his own home or elsewhere outside of an institution when this is practicable.
