Analysis of the Causes of Insanity in One thousand Patients
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2018
Extract
I have investigated as far as possible the causes of insanity in the last 1014 patients admitted to the Bristol Lunatic Asylum, 507 being males and a like number females. My purpose has been to ascertain in what proportion of insanity heredity was the prominent factor in causation, and what influence was exercised by alcohol, traumatism, and certain other agencies, where no taint of bad heredity could be found.
