Summary: |
This is a roughly chronological history of thinking about and treatment for persons with mental illness. Boxed text throughout focuses on special issues. End material offers many opportunities for follow-up. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Certainly the roles of religion and science in the treatment of persons with mental illness will be of interest. Students may want to explore the "line" between mental health and mental illness or the relationship between mental illness and creativity. "Nature/ nurture" discussions may also prove interesting. |
