In Inheriting Madness, Ian Dowbiggin traces the rise in popularity of hereditarianism in France during the second half of the nineteenth century to illuminate the nature and evolution of psychiatry during this period.

On the one hand, psychiatrists were attempting to expand their power and privileges by excluding other groups from the treatment of...

The Search for Domestic Bliss: Marriage and Family Counseling in 20th-Century America
ISBN: 9780700619474 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Why are Americans so bad at marriage? It's certainly not for lack of trying.

Quite the contrary, Ian Dowbiggin tells us in this thought-provoking book: the "caring industry" is part of the problem. Under the influence of therapeutic reformers, marital and familial dynamics in this country have shifted from mores...
