The Train Of Thought: An Experimental Study Of The Insane (1909)

""The Train of Thought: An Experimental Study of the Insane"" is a book written by Clara Harrison Town and first published in 1909. The book is an account of Town's experimental study of the thought processes of people with mental illness, particularly those suffering from schizophrenia. The study was conducted at the Danvers State Hospital in Massachusetts, where Town was a psychologist. She observed and recorded the thought patterns of her patients, using a variety of methods including word association tests and analysis of their written and spoken language. The book provides a detailed analysis of the results of Town's study, including descriptions of the various types of thought processes she observed in her patients. She also discusses the implications of her findings for the treatment of mental illness, and argues that a better understanding of the thought processes of people with mental illness could lead to more effective treatments. Overall, ""The Train of Thought"" is an important early work in the field of psychology, and provides valuable insights into the nature of mental illness and the thought processes of those who suffer from it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
