Review: Pioneering psychiatric work from centuries ago - It was a stroke of genius to commission an Egyptian psychiatric professional to translate this landmark work from Arabic to English. The translation is easy to follow and brings out the the author's expertise in the field of mental health, which modern professionals are only catching up to after more than a millenium. Al-Balkhi provides insights into afflictions of the soul, along with symptoms and treatment - something that modern scientists are hard pressed to accomplish with their current orientation.
Review: So Insightful - Al-Balkhi was certainly very insightful to the human experience, and I certainly gleaned a better understanding of the innate relationship between the soul and body that is not acknowledged in conventional medicine. Additionally, the strategies to relieving granular descriptions of a variety of psychological maladies is worthwhile. This translation only reveals what is in the psychological reference part of Al-Balkhi’s work. I’d be very interested to learn what he wrote in the first part, as he lived to be 88 years of age.
