2. Italian Psychological Literature

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

In the Archivio Dr. Porporati communicates two papers on insanity in women connected with the physiological changes of the sexual organs. The most novel part of these are his observations on insanity beginning during pregnancy. In most of his cases this was characterised by hatred of the husband, against whom groundless accusations of cruelty were made. The patient sometimes recovered after delivery, but this was more frequently followed by no benefit.
