Overview

About this book

This long-term study (1870 to 1950) asks how mental illness was diagnosed, interpreted, and experienced in the Croato-Serbian region during times of war and peace, and places the answers in their specific cultural, institutional and societal contexts. The "age of anxiety" arrived late and was dominated by the diagnosis of "schizophrenia." One surprising reason for this was the dominance of patients coming from rural areas.
