Charcot In Morocco

the long version

"Considered the father of neuropathology, Charcot (1825-1893) is a seminal character in the history of neurology and psychology. His Moroccan travel diary includes his observations of the local Jewish community, which fortified his assumptions about the relationship between race and neuropathology. His ideas, taught as doctrine to, among others, a young Sigmund Freud, reveal the convergence of clinical observation and European anti-Semitism at the end of the nineteenth century"--Inside cover flap.
