A Möbius strip. Fin-de-siècle neuropsychiatry and Paul Möbius
The way ahead is shown by the last essay in the book, Karl Figlio's meaty piece of social history, 'How does illness mediate social relations? Workmen's compensation and medico-legal practice, 1890-1940'. The title is spot-on, and highlights the paper's concerns and approaches.
