What reading level is The Anatomy of Suicide book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A female patient, who had often threatened to destroy her- self, one day assured M. Esquirol that she was about to do it.
" Very well," he answered ; " it is nothing to me ; and your husband will be delivered of a great torment." She instantly ceased the preparations she was making to accomplish the act, and never spoke of committing it again.
How easily lunatics may be diverted from their purpose by presence of mind, an intimacy with their character, and the tact to employ the destructive feel...ing by which they are actuated as the means of protection, is well exemplified in an anecdote related by Dr. Fox. He had accompanied a suicidal and furious maniac, who was at the time calm, to the upper story of his asylum to enjoy the prospect beyond the walls.
In returning, the spiral staircase struck the eye of the patient ; the opportunity roused the half-slumbering propensity, and a 184 MORAL TREATMENT OF SUICIDAL MANIA.
fit of frenzy ensued. His eyes glared, his teeth ground against each other ; he panted like a bloodhound for his prey, and seizing the Doctor by the collar, howled into his ears, " You jump down, and I will jump after you." The Doctor for the moment was petrified with horror ; he was alone with a powerful man, frenzied by insanity ; to escape was out of the question ; to attempt to overcome him by force was still more futile : in a moment he hit upon a stratagem.
