An Essay, Medical, Philosophical, and Chemical on Drunkenness and its Effects on the Human Body (Psychology Revivals)Author :
Paperback
Published : Thursday 15 January 2015
Description
By the mid-nineteenth century, `alcoholism was named as the disease of habitual drunkenness. Possibly the most important book to predict this was Trotters Essay, written in 1804.
Originally published in 1988 as part of the Tavistock Classics in the History of Psychiatry series, Roy Porters Introduction to this facsimile reprint locates Trotters work within the wider history of the evolution of the idea of alcoholism. It also examines the Essay in the context of Trotters own life and mind - a mind preoccupied with what he saw as the degenerative tendencies of modern civilization and with the wider issues of drug dependence.
