Bernard Mandeville: A Treatise of the Hypochondriack and Hysterick Diseases (1730)

Mandeville's aim was to delineate his own cure for hypochondria and hysteria, which consisted of a talking cure followed by diet and exercise, but also to discuss the practice of medicine in England and continental Europe at a time when physicians were beginning to lose ground to apothecaries.

Scopul lui Mandeville a fost sa-si delimiteze propria cura pentru hipocondrie si isterie, care consta intr-o cura vorbitoare urmata de dieta si exercitii fizice, dar si de a discuta despre practica medicinei in Anglia si Europa continentala intr-un moment in care medicii incepeau sa piarda teren in fata medicilor .
