Más información sobre el libro

Originally written in English by Alexander Morison, this book has been translated into German and is a seminal work in the field of psychiatric physiognomy, which studies the relationship between mental illness and physical appearance. The book contains more than 100 portraits of psychiatric patients, and uses them to illustrate its theories. While some of its claims may seem dated or even discredited today, it remains a fascinating historical document that sheds light on the way people thought about mental illness in the 19th century.
