Quatrième de couverture : "Les femmes médecins seront bientôt plus nombreuses que leurs collègues masculins et cela n'étonne personne. Pourtant, pour en arriver là, elles ont dû lutter contre les préjugés sexistes qui les ont souvent et pendant longtemps empêchées d'accéder aux études universitaires et de pratiquer la médecine. Ce livre raconte leur histoire qui comporte des périodes fastes (l'antiquité égyptienne) et surtout des périodes sombres."

This book reconnects health and thought, as the two were treated together in the seventeenth century, and by reuniting them, it adds a significant dimension to our historical understanding. Indeed, there is hardly a single early modern figure who took a serious interest in one but not the other, with their attitudes toward body-mind interaction often revealed in acts of self-diagnosis and experimentation. The essays collected here specifically reveal the way experiment and especially self-experiment, combined with careful attention to the states of mind which accompany states of body, provide a new means of assessing attitudes to body-mind interactions just as they show the abiding interest and relevance of source material typically ignored by historians of science and historians of philosophy. In the surviving records of such experimenting on one’s own body, we can observe leading figures like Francis Bacon, Robert Boyle and Robert Hooke, deliberately setting out to repeat pleasurable, or intellectually productive moods and states of mind, by applying the same medicine on successive occasions. In this way we can witness theories of the working of the human mind being developed by key members of an urban culture (London; interregnum Oxford) who based those theories in part on their own regular, long-term use of self-administered, mind-altering substances. It is hardly an overstatement to claim that there was a significant drug culture in the early modern period linked to self-experimentation, new medicines, and the new science. This is one of the many things this volume has to teach us.

This book reprints Human Guinea Pigs, by Kenneth Mellanby, a seminal work in the history of medical ethics and human subject research that has been nearly unavailable for over 40 years. Detailing the use of World War II conscientious objectors who volunteered for experimentation on scabies transmission, Mellanby’s book offers insight into one approach to human subject experimentation before the development of ethical oversight regulations. His work was initially published prior to the articulation of the Nuremberg Code, which makes his subsequent position as a reporter for the British Medical Journal at the Nuremberg Trials very interesting, particularly given his sometimes controversial opinions on Nazi medical experimentation. This book reprints the second edition together with commentary essays that situate Mellanby’s ethical approach in historical context and relative to contemporary approaches. This volume is of particular interest to scholars of the history of human subject research.

This book analyzes and discusses in detail art therapy, a specific tool used to sustain health in affective developments, rehabilitation, motor skills and cognitive functions. Art therapy is based on the assumption that the process of making art (music, dance, painting) sparks emotions and enhances brain activity. Art therapy is used to encourage personal growth, facilitate particular brain areas or activity patterns, and improve neural connectivity. Treating neurological diseases using artistic strategies offers us a unique option for engaging brain structural networks that enhance the brain’s ability to form new connections. Based on brain plasticity, art therapy has the potential to increase our repertoire for treating neurological diseases. Neural substrates are the basis of complex emotions relative to art experiences, and involve a widespread activation of cognitive and motor systems. Accordingly, art therapy has the capacity to modulate behavior, cognition, attention and movement. In this context, art therapy can offer effective tools for improving general well-being, quality of life and motivation in connection with neurological diseases. The book discusses art therapy as a potential group of techniques for the treatment of neurological disturbances and approaches the relationship between humanistic disciplines and neurology from a holistic perspective, reflecting the growing interest in this interconnection.

La 4e de couv. indique : "La police technique et scientifique nous renvoie à un imaginaire qui s'est imposé sur les écrans, celui de l'expert qui résout les crimes dans son laboratoire. La réalité est plus complexe. Basée sur la recherche de l'élément matériel et l'identification des traces, la criminalistique est devenue l'instrument scientifique incontournable des grandes enquêtes judiciaires comme de la lutte contre la délinquance. De la scène du crime jusqu'aux laboratoires, François Daoust retrace l'histoire et l'évolution de ces techniques ainsi que leur mise en oeuvre par les différentes unités, dont le détail est pour la première fois abordé. Il interroge également le rapport de ces services à la procédure et, au-delà des réussites, pointe les carences. Loin des clichés et sans complaisance, d'une envergure et d'une précision inédites, cet ouvrage livre une vision éclairée de la police technique et scientifique et de ses enjeux humain, juridique et technique"
