Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A rare nineteenth-century psychiatric classic, now presented in English for modern readers.In Paranoia, Portuguese physician and psychiatrist Júlio de Matos offers a rigorous historical and critical examination of one of the most debated concepts in nineteenth-century psychiatry.
