""A New View of Insanity: The Duality of the Mind Proved by the Structure, Functions and Diseases of the Brain"" is a book written by A.L.

Wigan uses evidence from the structure, functions, and diseases of the brain to support his theory. The book provides a detailed analysis of the brain and its functions, including the role of the frontal lobe, the limbic system, and the cerebral cortex. It also discusses various mental disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and how they relate to the duality of the mind. Overall, ""A New View of Insanity"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of the mind and mental illness.And By The Phenomena Of Mental Derangement, And Shown To Be Essential To Moral Responsibility.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
