Primitive Psychotherapy and Quackery is a book written by Robert Means Lawrence, a physician and author who specialized in the history of medicine. The book explores the history of psychotherapy and the use of quackery in the treatment of mental illness. Lawrence argues that throughout history, people have sought out various forms of primitive psychotherapy, including exorcism, hypnotism, and faith healing, as a means of curing mental illness. However, many of these treatments were ineffective and even harmful, and Lawrence exposes the dangers of quackery in the field of mental health. The book delves into the history of these practices, examining their origins and their impact on society. Lawrence also provides an analysis of the rise of modern psychotherapy and the development of evidence-based treatments for mental illness. Overall, Primitive Psychotherapy and Quackery is a thought-provoking and informative book that sheds light on the history of mental health treatment and the dangers of unproven therapies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
