| 101: | The signs and causes of melancholy, Richard Baxter, 1716 AD
Richard Baxter, preacher for a church. As noted above, Baxter viewed madness as a spiritual problem, not a bodily or physical one. He correctly viewed the cause of madness as sin and "wounds of the conscience". He correctly charged the insane as being "guilty of voluntary active Self-pollution" who willfully sinned, then suffered the pains of their conscience. Baxter notes that cognitive dissonance from unrepented sin, can lead to delusion, paranoia, depression and laziness. "I would warn all young Persons to live modestly, and keep at a sufficient distance from Objects that tempt them to carnal Lust . . . For I can tell them by the sad Experience of many, that venerous Crimes leave deep wounds in the Conscience; and that those that were never guilty of Fornication, are oft cast into long and lamentable Troubles, by letting Satan once into their Phantasies . . . especially when they are guilty of voluntary active Self-pollution". Baxter notes the symptoms as self condemnation due to ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/the-signs-and-causes-of-melancholy-richard-baxter-1716ad.htm | Size: 14K Depth: 5 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |

The cure involved: "repeated letting of Blood and strong Purges between each Bleeding, and afterwards when you have lay'd his fury, and have brought him to his Senses, then give him Cordials and Opiates." These became standard cures at Bedlam. But he also recommended water boarding which was clearly a moral treatment since it was to be done by surprise and would strike terror into the person: "Patient unwarily into the Sea, and to keep him under Water as long as he can possibly bear without being quite stifled."

By this method, the mind, held back by restraint, is induced to give up its arrogance and wild ideas and it soon becomes meek and orderly. This is why maniacs often recover much sooner if they are treated with torture and torments in a hovel instead of with medicaments."

Even today's hypnotists mislead audiences that they possess some inherent power they are able to transmit from their hands to the person being hypnotized. Since hysteria is all in the mind, Mesmer found a deceptive, but effective cure in Mesmerism. The placebo and nocebo effects are well documented forms of simple hypnotism, which is nothing more than the power of suggestion. In Acts 8, Simon the sorcerer was called "the great power of god". However when he saw the apostle Peter lay his hands on a man and impart one of the 9 supernatural powers listed in 1 Cor 12, Simon converted to Christianity and gave up his "Mesmerism".

| 108: | Definition of insanity and mental illness What is mental illness? What causes insanity? What causes mental illness? Introduction: Insanity and mental illness are behaviours not biological diseases. Choice, emotion, mood and memory have their origin in the human spirit, not the physical body or the brain. Disease and body chemicals do not cause choice, emotion, mood. While disease can affect behavour, disease never forces choice, emotion or mood. All behaviours associated with mental illness are sinful. Each of the individual behaviours associated with insanity and any mental illness are sinful since they violate specific passages of scripture. A. Mental illness is a behaviour not a disease: 1. "Madness and its synonyms are fuzzy terms. It is clear, however, that mad persons are unwanted persons and that we use the term broadly to refer to abnormal, unwanted behavior." As a rule, a person behaves "madly" for reasons of his own, that is, because of the particular adaptation he has made to the events that comprise his life." ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/psychiatry-insanity-mental-illness-defined-definition-behaviours-sins.htm | Size: 19K Depth: 2 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |

Battie's work was the most important influence on the treatment of madness in the eighteenth century before the founding of the York Retreat in 1792. He trained at Cambridge, became a governor of Bethlem Hospital in 1742, and in 1750-51 was a leading figure in the founding of St Luke's Hospital for Lunaticks, serving as its first physician until his retirement in 1764. Battie's achievement stands out clearly in his short, pointed, and controversial Treatise on Madness. He was among the first to try to dispense with the multiplication of labels for madness- melancholy, spleen, vapours, and so on-and preferred two simple categories: 'Original Madness', where there was some physical defect from birth, and which was generally incurable, and 'Consequential Madness', which followed upon some injury or external cause, and which would usually respond to treatment.

Neither the queen or modern chemical psychiatrists would be amused! (Hypochondriac Melancholy, John Hawkins, 1633 AD) The author John Hawkins, M D (Padua), practised in London in the 1620's but emigrated on account of his catholic allegiance. His book was the first on `hypochondriac melancholy', and incidentally the first on a psychiatric subject written by an Englishman in Latin and published abroad. By this 'little work' Hawkins hoped to dispel what was at once 'an erroneous belief . . . and a disgrace to the medical profession' namely that 'this disease is incurable, nay even incomprehensible'. He described its symptoms 'in the case of an illustrious and well-known heroine', actually Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia, daughter of James I.

A fugue played on this instrument-particularly when the ill person is so placed that he cannot miss the expressions on their faces and the play of these animals-must bring Lot's wife herself from her fixed state into prudential awareness". The cat piano was a fictional instrument of folklore. Reil's clever and imaginative use of this instrument was a hyperbole designed to drive his point home that the madman was to be cured by appealing to the will of the individual. While other mad doctors of his day dreamed up treatments to cure insanity by fixing the broken body or brain, Reil's KlinkenKaten as we call it, represented a lightening rod that attracted attention to his method of curing broken souls. The KlinkenKaten was in fact pure satirical genius, because even today, it attracts enormous attention and curiosity.

| 117: | The passions of the soul, Rene Descartes, 1650 AD ...Cartesian Dualism" is Christian theology. Chemical psychiatry, including the DSM-IV like to mislead the untaught by suggesting first, that this idea was something new, and second, that Descartes thought the pineal gland was the soul. In fact, Descartes' view was standard Judeo-Christian theology 101. Eccl 12:7 shows that the body returns to dust and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Jesus story of the Rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:21 clearly show that personality, memory, thoughts, feelings etc, consciously survive the death of the body while awaiting the second coming and resurrection. When this is pointed out, psychiatrists will then come clean (a bit) and say that Plato thought the same thing. They almost always fail to point out that "Cartesian Dualism" is really a primary Hebrew and Christian theology. Even worse, Chemical psychiatry fails to note that every historic culture on earth believed in "Cartesian Dualism" including the ancient Egyptians, Semites, Chinese and all ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/the-passions-of-the-soul-rene-descartes-1650ad.htm | Size: 11K Depth: 5 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
