Extract

Bleuler, in his Text-book of Psychiatry, says that “Reactive mania is unknown.” This statement occurs in the section devoted to the consideration of the reactive states; temporary psychoses, that is to say, where the ætiology is so clear and in such temporal contiguity to the onset of the symptoms that the illness can be definitely laid at the door of some recent alterationin the patient's total life situation.
