Psychiatry in Russia

[Svitlana Kobets]

Dear Joe,

check out Kenneth Steven Dix, "Madness in Russia, 1775-1864: Official
Attitudes and institutions for its care," University of California, PhD
thesis, 1977

check out also a new monograph by Christine D. Worobec, "Possessed: Women,
Witches, and Demons in Imperial Russia," Dekalb: Northern Illinois
University Press, 2001. See chapter 4, Psychiatric Diagnoses, 148-177. You
will also find a very extensive biblio re this subject.

Good luck,
Svitlana
