Is psychiatry a distinctively modern approach to mental difference and distress, or is it a continuation of ancient Greek ideas - in the realm not only of medicine (consider 'melancholia'), but also of philosophy (source of the idea of 'therapeutics of the soul') and tragic drama (inspiration for, among other concepts, the 'Oedipus complex')? This volume examines how psychiatry, psychoanalysis and psychotherapy have been shaped by classical antiquity (and ideas about antiquity), and it explores the stories told about what this relationship between the psy disciplines and ancient Greece might mean.

Taking as a starting point the debate about what exactly mental illnesses might be, Jessica Wright explores how contemporary tensions and debates reflect efforts to smooth over inconsistencies and discontinuities between ancient and modern ideas about illnesses affecting the mind. The volume goes on to investigate key concepts that bridge classical antiquity and modern psychiatry, showing how these ideas have been adapted and repurposed for new circumstances, analysing how they are deployed to negotiate the legitimacy of current theories, and demonstrating how the roles they play in psychiatry reshape our understandings of antiquity itself. What emerges above all is how the process of examining the connections between modern psychiatry and classical antiquity, whether historical, constructed or imagined, can illuminate modern ideas about mental illness, approaches to treating it, and its place in contemporary society and culture.

Modern psychiatry is firmly rooted in antecedents from classical antiquity, from the ancient Greek concept of 'therapeutics of the soul' (an ancient parallel to modern 'talk therapy') to mythical exemplars such as Oedipus.This volume examines the modern question of what counts as mental illness, and how we should address it, through a historical lens that takes into account not only explanatory models, but also diagnostic and therapeutic approaches across the ages.

Taking the debate about whether mental illnesses are cultural constructs as a starting point, Jessica Wright teases apart associations with ancient medicine, philosophy and myth to demonstrate how these reflect internal contradictions and ambiguities within modern conceptions of mental illness and its treatment, including questions such as (when) is depression an emotion, a mood, or a mental illness? What kind of category is mental illness? Are mental illnesses universal or context-specific? The volume also explores a series of diagnoses and maps key connections between ancient and modern frameworks, as well as showing how ancient concepts of brain-based mental illness provide the foundations for the modern shift in focus to the brain and its subsequent implications for ethical and political concerns. What emerges vividly is how the process of exploring the connections between modern and ancient psychiatry, whether historical, constructed or imagined, can illuminate modern understandings of mental illness, its therapies, and its place in contemporary society and culture.

This book is about a Seattle girl named Jessica, who is living in a lost world full of pain and affliction. Stifled by her own family, she searches for ways to be loved and cherished. She appreciates the aspects of what love has taught her. She's been abused, raped, misused, misguided, and sexually exploited; yet she still manages to remain a beautiful soul. As she grows on her journey, she learns that what she knew to be love was pain and what she thought to be pain was actually love. Through the many familiar changes she's faced, she has kept her faith in God and placed her heart and trust there, never turning astray or weary to the world and the cold hearts she's come across. She found herself in the life of others. Although others want to destroy her, that only made her want to love herself forever more. Jessica is a girl many will strive to be like and hope to one day soon become. Through faith, hard work, and self-dedication, she believes anything is possible. She believes in the impossible. Waiting on a miracle and sign from God, Jessica believes she has finally found the love she's been dreaming of, and she hopes to remain in the wings of God and his unfailing love for eternity.

I want to share the story of me, my parents, and my grandparents so people will know what happened to the people of China and Taiwan in my generation, my parents' generation, and my grandparents' generation during the last 100 years of modern Chinese history. Sometimes, I wonder what if there had been no war. What would my parents' lives be like? War is a cruel matter that I hope we do not have to experience. I am grateful to have grown up in Taiwan, and see it as being a paradise for me. As you can see, I have a lot of good memories. I hope Taiwan will survive the aggression of China and continue to be a land of the free.
