Description 1 online resource (xiii, 414 pages) : illustrations Summary Annotation Goldstein spans the enlightened absolutist experiments of the 1780s through the end of the 19th century. Combining the approaches of intellectual, social, and political history to present psychiatry as a body of scientific knowledge, a new profession formed within the relatively fluid class society created by the Revolution, and a manifestation of the bureaucratic state.
