General Paresis (1913) - Hardcover

General Paresis is a book written by Emil Kraepelin in 1913, exploring the neurological disorder known as general paresis of the insane. The book provides a detailed description of the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of this condition, which was common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Kraepelin's work was groundbreaking in its approach to understanding the disease, which was previously thought to be a form of insanity rather than a physical illness. He conducted extensive research on the disease, including autopsies of patients who had died from it, and concluded that it was caused by a bacterial infection that affected the brain. Kraepelin's work laid the foundation for modern research on neurosyphilis and other neurological disorders, and his book remains an important reference for medical professionals and researchers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
