Book Synopsis The History of the Brain and Mind Sciences by : Stephen T. Casper
Book excerpt: This history explores the exceptionally complex scientific and medical techniques and practices that have allowed practitioners to claim expertise in the brain and mind sciences over the past two centuries. Based on meticulous historical research, essays in this volume reveal the richness of the history of the brain and mind sciences and show that this history cannot be reduced to an uncomplicated narrative of progressive discovery. Rather, the volume contributors collectively contend that it is in the seemingly obscure, peripheral, and marginal stories of the past that the medicine and science of the brain and the mind took shape.
