Reviews

[Durakov]

A solid overview of the law, theology, and social life of madness in the middle ages with a clear predilection for the 12th century (which she sells pretty well!). The last chapter on "contemporary psychiatry" is obviously about the 70s and is the most outdated part and, in my view, least interesting of the book.
