商品簡介
A scholar of modern medicine and intellectual history, Pietikainen examines the history of neuroses in Swedish medicine and culture from 1880 to 1950, a hefty chunk of what he calls the Nervous Century, 1880-1980, during which so-called weak nerves throughout western culture led to a plethora of symptoms and diagnoses. The first neurological clinic opened in Stockholm in 1887, and by the end of the century, nervousness had become established as a national malady in Sweden.
