- This very substantial monograph (200,000 words) from a major press represents an important addition to scholarship on ancient medicine and breaks new ground in several key ways. In contrast to existing scholarship on ancient medical views of the mind, which tend to focus on mental disorders, the book begins from the perspective of mental health, and moves away from purely medical classifications to take a much broader perspective. This is a far-reaching publication which makes strong claims about the relevance of ancient thought and practices to contemporary ideas about health and wellbeing.
