Review
"There is no comparable sourcebook dealing with mental illness in Western society and this collection of texts fills an existing void."
(Gerald Grob
Professor of the History of Medicine Emeritus, Rutgers University 20090126)
"Mental illness has long been one of the most baffling phenomena known to us. It is devastating for the individual suffering from it and incomprehensible for those around him or her. This exquisite volume brings together a number of essential texts in the history of psychiatry, highlighting the changing ideas of physicians and the experience of madness. It is an invaluable aid to students in the history of psychiatry, psychology, medicine, and the humanities."
(Hans Pols
Unit for the History and Philosophy of Science, University of Sydney 20090911)
"A rich and thought-provoking collection of historical sources that remind us of the limitations of our own passing perspectives on madness and mental health."
(Eric J. Engstrom
Department of History, Humboldt University, Berlin 20090911)
"There is no real shortage of histories of psychiatry, but there is nothing comparable to Eghigian's compilation of key historical source texts that illuminate the changing concepts of constructs of mental disorders over time in From Madness to Mental Health."

"This is an invaluable collection, highly recommended for both students and mental health researchers, as a sourcebook for ongoing study of the history of the idea of mental illness and its treatment."
(
Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare 20110101)
