A very good copy indeed in the original marbled boards, red leather title label, hint of wear to extremities, some light foxing and browning to text as usual otherwise a tight attractive example of this scarce book. Falret (April 26, 1794 - October 28, 1870) is considered to be one of the more influentual psychiatrists of 19th century France. He believed in the dualistic nature of the individual, and a separation of body and soul. He proposed that when the soul and a diseased condition interact, a phenomena he called novum organon appeared. Accordingly, this manifestation of the novum organon created disturbances of the soul and caused mental illness. He believed that this mental condition could not be remedied by somatic treatment alone, but mainly through "psychic", moral methods.
