What reading level is Mental Pathology And Therapeutics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This disorder of the intelligence either presents the decided character of weakness, which in dementia proper is manifested in the sluggishness of thought, the want of normal reproduc- tion of ideas (loss of memory) and their healthy association — it may pro- ceed to total abolition of all the mental faculties, with which there is also combined weakness of the emotions and will, want of energy or com- plete loss of volition, and dulness of the emotions, bluntnessof the moral nature arising from... the absence or superficiality of reactionary power, — or the mental weakness is in a measure concealed by the predominance of certain delirious conceptions, whose obstinate persistence is significant of all that remains of mental power, and behind which all consciousness is but an empty void. Out of this vacancy no ideas can any longer arise which might counteract and overthrow the delusion; although the patient is no longer governed by a dominant sentiment, still the delirium remains persistent, owing to vacuity of thought, which ordinarily does not merely affect the limited sphere of the fixed delirious conceptions, but is only the partial appearance of a general diminution and destruction of all the mental processes.
