Of all the triumphs won by science for humanity, few have been farther-
reaching in good effects than the modern treatment of the insane. But this is
the result of a struggle long and severe between two great forces. On one side
have stood the survivals of various superstitions, the metaphysics of various
philosophies, the dogmatism of various theologies, the literal interpretation
of various sacred books, and especially of our own, all compacted into a creed
that insanity is mainly or largely demoniacal possession; on the other side
has stood science, gradually accumulating proofs that insanity is always the
result of physical disease.
This book deals with the history of this warfare, or rather of this evolution
of truth out of error.
