... Walt Whitman, Carpenter. (He obviously viewed himself as the 15th) When his idol, mentor and fellow humanist, Walt Whitman died, he proclaimed, "The Christ is dead!" and dedicated his book to Whitman as possessing "The Most Exalted Moral Nature". He was also communist who looked forward to the classic Marxist "utopia" where religion would vanish when in the future every man will be his own god: "all religions known and named today will be melted down ... Each soul will feel and know itself to be immortal". Although the son of a church minister, he had very confused religious views that were a mix of atheism, humanism, Bahai, Buddhism, John Lennon, Shirley Maclaine while firmly parroting (but disbelieving) the Christian doctrine of conscious life after death. Speaking to his deceased son in 1899, he echoes what his father taught him: "Only a little while now and we shall be again together and with us those other noble and well-beloved souls gone before. I am sure I shall meet you and ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/cosmic-consciousness-richard-maurice-bucke-1901ad.htm | Size: 413K Depth: 5 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
| 2: | Historical overview of Psychiatry: 1550 BC - 2010 AD Egyptians wrote a book of medicine. It is likely a copy of a much older book, but it is quite fascinating to realize just how much the ancients knew about the human body and various diseases. While the cures were no better than a witches brew with "eye of newt", they did understand the various diseases. The only reference to anything coming close to psychiatry is in the section on the heart where anger and sadness are discussed. Biopsychiatrists love to quote the papyrus as proof that the Egyptians believed depression was caused by bodily diseases. But this is simply untrue. In fact the opposite is true. The Egyptians understood that anger and sadness caused body diseases in the heart. The papyrus reads: "When his Heart is afflicted and has tasted sadness, behold his Heart is closed in and darkness is in his body because of anger which is eating up his Heart." (The Egyptian Medical Ebers Papyrus: 1550 BC) Jumping forward 3000 years...

| 3: | Psychiatry historic treatments vomits, bloodletting, cold baths ... Why did torture cure the insanity? Click to View see also: Humoral medicine Click to View Introduction: Insanity has always been characterized by the sins of anger, selfishness, rebellion, laziness, violence, assaults, lack of obedience and all the other things young children get spanked for by their mothers. When mother fails, its on to the judge and jailer. When all else fails, its off to the asylum, where they will finish what your mother started. Basically society provides three methods of teaching you to behave through spankings and time out: 1. your mother 2. the police 3. the asylum. 4. the church. Although this is a historic review of the past, nothing has really changed much even today in psychiatry. The modern methods are simply sanitized versions of what you will see practiced historically. These treatments were all methods of controlling, confining, punishing and forcing compliance with rules and general obedience. "We come next to mention the remedies that are proper to ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/psychiatry-historic-treatments-vomits-blood-letting-cold-baths-blistering-evacuation-purging.htm | Size: 112K Depth: 2 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |

Click to View See also: History of Psychiatry homepage Click to View Introduction: In 1758 AD, William Battie, Mad Doctor at Bedlam and then St. Lukes asylum, was caustically hostile to Christianity and religion in general, like modern chemical psychiatry today. His A Treatise on Madness, never mentions the words: soul, spirit, God, Jesus. The only time Christianity is brought into the subject is his rather stupid suggestion that the laziness religious leaders causes madness because their "nerves" were out of shape due to lack of use the same way the lazy man has weak heart. It was a clear slap against religion. He was one who actually believed that Christians were generally mentally ill. This attitude prevails today in modern psychiatry. To Battie, all mental illness had a physical cause. Battie's etiology of insanity was borrowed from Nicholas Robinson, who in 1729 AD, wrote a book where he stated bad nerves was a ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/psychiatry-history-mad-doctors-william-battie-1703-1776ad.htm | Size: 107K Depth: 3 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
| 5: | Sin was viewed as the cause (etiology) of mental illness Christian Reil suggested that the Cat Piano was the cure for insanity. It worked by seating the insane in front of the Cat Piano, as someone played, sanity would be restored. Reil suggested this clever and imaginative hyperbole, in order to drive home his point, that insanity was a spiritual problem not a bodily problem. Doctors before the 19th century, knew less than a typical thirteen year old today, who dissected a few raccoons on his back yard picnic table and experimented with his chemistry set he got for Christmas!

| 6: | Spital Sermon, Andrew Snape, 1718 AD ... The brain is the physical medium the spirit uses to illuminate the body. (Spital Sermon, Andrew Snape, 1718 AD) "By ancient custom the five hospitals of the City of London of Royal foundation St. Bartholomew's, St Thomas', Christ's, Bridewell and Bethlem, were annually during Easter week recommended to public patronage in sermons preached by dignitaries of the Church before the governors and city fathers. They were known as `Spital Sermons' because as Henry King, Bishop of Chichester explained in A sermon of deliverance. Preached at the Spittle, 1626 (London, Marriot, p. 48) `Spitdes [are] for cure of the diseased . . . Hospitals for the entertainment of the Aged and Nurserie of Orphans'. They were originally preached at St Mary Spittal but after the Restoration at St Bridget's (St Bride's). Towards the end of the seventeenth century it was the practice for preachers not only to mention the hospitals by name but also to review their year's work such as admissions and discharges of ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/spital-sermon-andrew-snape-1718ad.htm | Size: 15K Depth: 5 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
| 7: | A New System of the Spleen, Nicholas Robinson, 1729 AD What Hope, what Refuge ... the Mind was in Despair through Doubt ... Where can he rest his hopeless Hope! where seek for Mercy, when Conscience, Horror, Despair, and all the dismal Scenes of Woe, that can afflict the most obdurate Heart, fly glaringly in his Face, and sting his tortur'd Soul, with Pain and Grief unsufferable to human Nature! Hence spring those frequent Suicides, to which these harden'd Miscreants have Recourse, to rid them of a Life most loathed, wretched, and miserable to endure. So that no Scene of Horror can be more dreadful, than to view an Atheist on his Bed of Sickness, just reviving to a Sense of his being forsaken of God, and all Hopes of his Mercy." Nicholas Robinson believed that mental illness was caused by feelings of sin, hopelessness and condemnation which in turn damaged the brain nerves. In a page out of modern chemcial psychiatry, Robinson believes drugs are the cure: "But of all Medicines in the Spleen, I know none equal or fit to compare with that ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/a-new-system-of-the-spleen-vapours-and-hypochondriack-melancholy-nicholas-robinson-1729ad.htm | Size: 25K Depth: 4 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
