Responsibility in Mental Disease is a book written by Henry Maudsley, a prominent British psychiatrist and medical writer. The book explores the concept of responsibility in the context of mental illness, examining the ways in which society and the legal system assign blame and culpability to individuals who suffer from mental disorders. Maudsley argues that mental illness should be viewed as a disease, rather than a moral failing, and that individuals with mental disorders should be treated with compassion and understanding rather than punishment. The book also explores the role of psychiatry in the legal system, and the ways in which mental health professionals can help to ensure that justice is served while still recognizing the complex realities of mental illness. Overall, Responsibility in Mental Disease is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a complex and important topic, written by one of the most respected authorities in the field of psychiatry.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1898 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
