This distinction, which has been adopted by the majority of recent alienists , is a valuable one, and must not be lost sight of here. It would seem, from a psychological point of view, to be an important circumstance in the genesis of a false perception whether the intellectual process sets out from within or from without.
Were O. Henry alive, he could find material for a hundred new yarns, and William James numerous pointers for another work on psychology, while De Quincey might multiply his dreams ad infinitum. Doubtless alienists as well as fiction writers would find us worth studying. In France there's a saying that to be an aviator one must be a bit "off."
Alienists, far from eagerly accepting this view, have set themselves to combat it and to maintain that Lombroso has compromised everything in wanting to make the term too precise.
Unfortunately the opportunity for vague yet damaging testimony on the part of experts, the ease with which any desired opinion can be defended by a slight alteration in the hypothetical facts, and the practical impossibility of exposure, have been seized upon with avidity by a score or more of unscrupulous alienists who are prepared to sell their services to the highest bidder.
Nan, having alienists on her mind, and finding none, was plumping her question at Dick: "Where's Doctor Brooke?" Dick evaded it by the self-evident statement that he hadn't come, and ended in a morass of frowning confusion. Mrs. Powell turned to her with a surprised interrogation, a doubtful warmth.
It often takes a girl several weeks to find her first place. During this period of looking for work the immigrant girl is subjected to great dangers. It is at such times that immigrants often exhibit symptoms of that type of disordered mind which alienists pronounce "due to conflict through poor adaptation."
Even if he did believe me, he'd never let me see it his instinct would be to cover the whole thing up... But in that case if he DID believe me he might think it a kindness to get me shut up in an asylum..." Granice began to tremble again. "Good heaven! If he should bring in an expert one of those damned alienists! Ascham and Pettilow can do anything their word always goes.
No trial, no counsel, no protest from the outside world! This was the customary procedure. I began to think as the week wore on that this was probably their plan for me. I could not see my family or friends; counsel was denied me; I saw no other prisoners and heard nothing of them; I could see no papers; I was entirely in the hands of alienists, prison officials and hospital staff.
The various schools of psychologists, neurologists, 'alienists, and employers of hypnotism for curative or experimental purposes, appear to differ very widely among themselves, and the layman may read but he cannot criticise their works. The essays which follow are historical, anthropological, antiquarian. 'Shadow' or Magic of the Dene Hareskins: its four categories.
Guy de Maupassant came fairly by his cracked nervous constitution, and instead of dissipation, mental and physical, being the determining causes of his shattered health, they were really the outcome of an inherited predisposition to all that is self-destructive. The French alienists called it une hérédité chargée. He never relaxed his diligence, even writing criticism.
