Excerpt from The Child-Study Monthly, Vol. 4: May, 1898, to April, 1899Psychopathis'che Minderwertigkeit is an expression that will be new to most readers. It is new, in fact, and was first brought into use by the director of the State Insane Asylum at Zwiefalten, Dr. Koch(1). But not only is the name new, but the content of the conception for which it stands pre sents a new system of nervous and psychic anomalies which Koch has sought to separate as an independent field within the limits of psychiatry and neurology and to define and place in the right light. Under the term minor mental ab normalities are included all, either inherited or acquired, mental irregularities which in¿uence the personality of the human being and which even in bad cases still present no mental disease, although they prevent persons whom they a¿'lict from appearing to be in full possession of mental nor mality and power Such irregularities are to be found not only in adults, with whom Koch is chie¿y concerned, but quite as often, if not more often, in childhood, even during the life of the sucking infant, as Dr. A. Rfimer specialist in nervous diseases at Stuttgart, has shown.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
