title: American Madness: The Rise and Fall of Dementia Praecox
author:  Richard Noll 
description: Richard Noll's <i>American Madness</i> is an important book that deserves a wide readership among those interested in understanding the development of American psychiatry between 1896 and the 1930s. (Andrew Scull,<i> Journal of American History)</i><br /><br />Tales of personal drama enliven Noll's story in a way that few would imagine possible for a historical account of nosology. (<i>American Journal of Psychiatry)</i><br /><br />It is clearly written and is based on a remarkably thorough literature search and reading of primary sources. . . . Noll's book will become a useful narrative for much of the modern history of psychiatry in the United States. . . . The research and thinking that went into this book make it refreshing and valuable. (John C. Burnham, <i>Isis)</i>
