- The Western Malady was completed over seven years. Although the monograph is relatively short (xvi + 210 pages), it synthesizes a very large body of material. Its historical range is from c. 500 BCE to c. 1800. The research extended across several disparate disciplines: the history of early modern medicine and medicine in classical antiquity; the history of psychiatry in the twentieth century; aspects of the current psychology and psychiatry of depression (for instance ‘creativity studies’ and the cognitive psychology of depression); themes in the philosophy of science and psychiatry; and topics in the literary history of early modern Europe.
