An Examination Of The Practice Of Bloodletting In Mental Disorders (1854) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781436772556)

""An Examination Of The Practice Of Bloodletting In Mental Disorders"" is a book written by Pliny Earle in 1854. The book examines the practice of bloodletting, which was a common medical treatment for mental disorders at the time. Earle argues against the use of bloodletting, citing evidence that it is not effective and can even be harmful to patients. He also discusses alternative treatments for mental disorders, such as moral treatment and occupational therapy. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the medical practices of the 19th century and provides insight into the evolution of mental health treatment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
