"On Uncontrollable Drunkenness Considered As A Form Of Mental Disorder" explores the medical and psychological aspects of chronic inebriation. Written by Forbes Winslow, this treatise delves into the understanding of uncontrollable drunkenness not merely as a social vice but as a legitimate form of mental derangement. The book examines the causes, symptoms, and potential treatments of this condition, providing insights into the psychiatric perspectives of the era. Winslow's work offers a historical perspective on the medical approach to alcoholism and its classification as a mental health issue, reflecting the evolving understanding of addiction in the 19th century.
