Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. 33 pp, with many blank leaves bound in at the back. Contemporary red cloth binding stamped in gilt on spine: "Not The Disease Only, But Also The Man Putnam 1899." Very Good. First Separate Printing. Copy of Henry Rouse Viets, with his bookplate. On the front flyleaf, Viets wrote in…pencil: "Bound in 1920 by Maltby in Oxford". The book was originally published with printed wrappers. Aside from the separate printing, I know of two other complete printed versions: The lecture was published in two parts in two issues of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 141, nos. 3 and 4, July 20 and 27, 1899. It was also published in the Medical Communications of the Massachusetts Medical Society, Vol. XVIII. Second Series Volume XIV, 1901, pp. 47-79. This has the same typesetting as the separate printing offered here. In Kelly & Burrage, American Medical Biographies (1920 edition), I found this reference to Putnam's Shattuck Lecture: "His first interest was mainly with the problems of organic neurology, but during his later years his attention was turned rather toward the functional aspects of nervous disease, an interest which was greatly intensified by the advent of the psychoanalytic movement. The practical application of psychological methods to the problem of behavior in the large sense, as elaborated by Freud and his followers, made an immediate and insistent appeal, and thereafter up to the time of his death he was constantly at work in the attempt to elucidate the deeper significance of the mental life on the basis of the psychoanalytic method. During this period many papers appeared from his pen; his mind was never more active and he bore for the most part with equanimity, but with an occasional burst of indignation, the cynical and often abusive criticism aimed not so much at him personally as at the principles in which he believed. It is not to be questioned that when the heat of discussion over the newer psychological theories has subsided his thoughtful and searching papers will come to be regarded as contributions of permanent value in relation to this turbulent phase of medical research. Antedating somewhat this more recent and polemic period his Shattuck lecture before the Massachusetts Medical Society, delivered in 1899, with the original and suggestive title, "Not the Disease Only, but also the Man," [offered here] revealed in striking fashion his catholicity of view, his belief in the significance of the mental life in the consideration of disease and his conception of the physician's duty toward himself and towards his patient a masterpiece of expository writing." OCLC locates three copies of this separate printing in US libraries: Harvard, Yale, Library Company of Philadelphia.
