Excerpt from Mind and Its Disorders: A Text-Book for Students and Practitioners The present work has been prepared with the object of providing the student and practitioner with a succinct account of our existing knowledge of mental diseases. My endeavour has been to induce the reader to think neurologically of mental processes, normal and morbid, my own work during the past twelve years or more having consisted of clinical research into the nature of nervous phenomena associated with mental disorder. Some of the matter has been already published in the journal of Mental Science, Brain and elsewhere. The book is divided into three sections. In the first which deals with normal psychology an attempt is made to correlate mental processes with their physical substrata in the nervous system, the transcendental psychology of modern schoolmen being ignored as useless to the practical physician of to-day. In the second section the psychology of the insane is treated in a similar manner. The classification of mental diseases adopted in the third section almost coincides with that of Kraepelin but from my experience as a teacher I have thought it advisable in a few instances to change his nomenclature, because it has at times appeared to be confusing to students.
