| Description | Typescript account of a lecture given by Norman. The first patient presented by Norman has a history of alcoholic excess and has been suffering hallucinations but requested to be admitted to the asylum. Norman uses the case to illustrate the the belief of the law that a man is either sane or insane is not correct. He also provided details of a case formally under his care of a patient who attacked a guard to 'have his case brought before the courts in order that the wrongfulness of sending him to an asylum might be manifested'. Norman then show two patients, already seen by the class, with circular insanity, and a final case of a youth who attacked a girl with a sword. |
