Sociologists explained this with reference to the impacts of urbanisation, industrialisation and modernity. Medical practitioners identified psychological and physiological explanations for nervous disorders, focussing on a constellation of symptoms that became known as neurasthenia. While many commentators considered neurasthenia a condition of the middle classes, there was growing evidence that nervous disorders affected a wide range of the social spectrum, including the working class. We explore the prevalence of nervous disorders in the late 19th-century, using the British Post Office as a case study. We identify the significance of nervous disorders as a cause of sickness absence and of retirement, taking note of occupation and gender as key variables. We examine the contrasting explanations offered by management and workers for the incidence of nervous disorders, pointing to the significance of specific labour practices on different groups of workers. We compare our findings with those in other industries in the 20th century and conclude that similar rates of nervous disorders occurred across time and in different kinds of occupations. We conclude by suggesting that different working conditions were a significant factor in explaining the incidence of nervous disorders and that this needs to be taken into account by historians alongside more traditional explanations of nervousness based on social change and the impact of modernity on the human psyche.","PeriodicalId":45965,"journal":{"name":"History of Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"957154X261463378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148654756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is not simple ignorance, nor merely a gap awaiting future clarification, but a historically productive relation between clinical experience and the conceptual frameworks designed to organize it. This article argues that such opacity was not peripheral but constitutive of 19th-century descriptive psychopathology. Once we move beyond the opposition between teleological histories of progress and constructivist accounts of psychiatric knowledge, the clinic appears as a theory-laden instrument whose limits were repeatedly encountered in practice. Two exemplary sites make this clear: hallucination and the genesis of delusion. In both cases, descriptive psychopathology advanced not by tightening its definitions, but by confronting what could not be made to fit them; by learning to work with the residue of experience that escaped signification. Thus, this article treats limits of intelligibility not as a threat to psychiatric realism, but as one of its conditions. Methodologically, it draws on historical epistemology to examine how these limits become visible in the textual traces left by alienist clinicians when their categories proved insufficient to stabilize clinical experience. Psychiatric knowledge is not secured by the exhaustive precision of its categories, but by their capacity to remain responsive to what they cannot fully represent.","PeriodicalId":45965,"journal":{"name":"History of Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"957154X261468614"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148608449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Delivered at the Collège de France in 1823, the lecture predates modern psychiatry and offers a rare, nuanced view of mental disorders at the crossroads of clinical medicine, philosophy, and Enlightenment moral thought. Laennec distinguishes between five types of mental illness-hallucinations, monomania, mania, dementia, and idiocy-while rejecting the reductionist views of his contemporaries who sought anatomical lesions as the sole cause. His classification emphasizes gradation, subjective experience, and the blending of pathology with normal human faculties such as imagination, emotion, and belief. He critiques the dominant anatomical paradigm, notably the views of Broussais, and advocates for a moral and observational approach to mental care. His views prefigure modern biopsychosocial models and anticipate concepts such as shared psychosis and dimensional spectra in psychiatry. By refusing to isolate madness from social, cultural, or historical contexts, Laennec offers a deeply human and still-relevant vision of mental illness-one that challenges us to rethink psychiatry beyond biological determinism and diagnostic rigidity.","PeriodicalId":45965,"journal":{"name":"History of Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"957154X261449445"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148303511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in recent years, its legacy has come under increasing scrutiny, with some historians and physicians questioning the claims of it being an effective treatment. This paper, utilizing published accounts and medical record archives, describes malaria therapy for neurosyphilis as conducted by psychiatrist, Reginald Ellery at Victoria's Mont Park Hospital for the Insane, 1927-1928. It also evaluates Ellery's claims about malaria therapy's effectiveness. This research delineates several clinical and research-related factors - such as diagnostic drift, adjunct interventions, and healthy-patient selection - that likely contributed to an overestimation of malaria therapy's effectiveness. Additionally, it demonstrates that patient outcomes as reported in the medical records are notably less positive than described by Ellery in his published accounts. Consequentially, the findings of this study do not support the claims of malaria being an effective treatment for neurosyphilis.","PeriodicalId":45965,"journal":{"name":"History of Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"135-158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13237213/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145865882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He published two books during his lifetime, the Philosophy of Insanity and the Asylum Diaries, which detail his lived experience as a patient at the Glasgow Royal Lunatic Asylum. This book review-essay engages with recent scholarship on Frame to argue that these recently re-published writings offer more than historical curiosity: they articulate a consistent philosophy of madness and a political theory of care that continues to be relevant for contemporary psychiatry. Frame's testimony provides a rare first-hand account of the Scottish \"no-restraint\" movement, prefiguring both anti-psychiatry and patient-centered care, while foregrounding the therapeutic significance of environment, community, and the relational dynamics they foster. At the same time, Frame's work develops a singular ethics, epistemology, and ontology of madness, insisting that reason and unreason are not opposed but entwined, thus demonstrating that the ontological impropriety of any singular life-what the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben calls its \"exemplarity\"-is what makes it most common. By analyzing Frame's synthesis of testimonial combined with practical, philosophical, and political insight, as well as recent historical and clinical scholarship on his works, the review-essay shows how his writings anticipate both psychoanalytic concepts such as transference, as well as ethical critiques of profit-driven health systems. The piece concludes that Frame's work remains a conceptual resource for rethinking the intertwined epistemological, ethical, and political dimensions of psychiatry in the 21st century.","PeriodicalId":45965,"journal":{"name":"History of Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"211-221"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147391167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
