‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Maudsley , after serving as house surgeon at University College Hospital, decided to enter the Indian Medical service and took a position at the Essex county asylum in order to meet their requirement for experience in the management and treatment of mental diseases. As a result of that experience, he selected psychiatry as a career and went to become medical superintendent to the Manchester Royal Lunatic Asylum... He was a prolific writer on psychiatric subjects whose concepts of mental disease were very much like those of his german contemporary, Griesinger... The present work had a lasting impact on the development of psychiatry... It was a turning point in english psychiatry... It presaged the end of the period in which psychiatry rested on a magma of empirical observations and windy philosophizing and it embodied a critical synthesis of biological and other scientific advances so far as they had an evident bearing on mental activity in health and disease".
