Abstract

This chapter discusses the close link between emotional and cognitive dysfunctions and visceral disturbances, in the experience of melancholia and nervous diseases in the eighteenth century. It is based on epistolary consultations sent to Dr S.-A. Tissot between 1750 and 1797. According to the patients, their belly was a complex zone of internal movements and sensations, which coexisted, in the same narrative movement, with mental troubles. The aerial and hydropneumatic element of the body – such as winds, vapours, animal spirits – played an important role in describing mind-body suffering. This element found pathways throughout in the body, even outside the humoural and nervous system. These aerial movements generated pain, disquiet, sadness or disgust.

内脏里的灵魂:十八世纪病人的经历
本章讨论了情感和认知功能障碍与内脏紊乱之间的密切联系,在十八世纪的忧郁症和神经疾病的经验。它是根据寄给s . a .博士的书信体咨询。天梭1750年到1797年。根据病人的说法,他们的腹部是一个内部运动和感觉的复杂区域,在同一叙事运动中,它与精神问题共存。身体的气相和气相元素——如风、蒸汽、动物精神——在描述身心痛苦时起着重要作用。这种元素在全身,甚至在体液和神经系统之外都能找到途径。这些空中运动产生痛苦、不安、悲伤或厌恶。
