Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Causation and Treatment of Psychopathic Diseases Psychopathic diseases are not hereditary - they are acquired characteristics. "Weak nerves," "a run down, exhausted nervous system," whatever the terms may mean, may overlap psychopathic conditions, but the two are by no means equivalent, much less identical. Psychopathic states are not "weak nerves" or "fatigued nerves." Above all, there is no need to obscure the matter and resort to the much abused, mystical and mystifying factor of heredity. It is easy to shift all blame on former generations, where in most cases the fault is close at hand, namely, a debased environment, a defective training, and a vicious education. Under the rigorous conditions of primitive life individuals who have been unfortunate, and have become affected with mental troubles and emotional afflictions are mercilessly exterminated by the process of tribal and social selection. Each generation weeds out the individuals who have been unfortunate enough to fall under unfavorable circumstances, and have become mentally sick, suffering from acquired psychopathic disturbances. In primitive life the crippled, the maimed, the wounded, the sick fall by the way, and are left to perish a miserable death. In fact, the less fortunate, the wounded and the stricken in the battle of life, are attacked by their own companions - they are destroyed by the ruthless social brute. The gregarious brute has no sympathy with the pains and sufferings of the injured and the wounded. The faint and the ailing are destroyed by the herd. Civilization, on the other hand, tends more and more towards the preservation of psychopathic individuals.
