Publication Details

J. ment. Sci., 23, 419-20. 1877 CE.

Clouston, eminent English psychiatrist, was the first definitely to recognize the relationship between paresis and congenital syphilis and to report a case. This paper is also of interest as being the only recorded case of juvenile paresis at the time Ibsen wrote Ghosts, with its excellent portrayal of the condition in the person of Oswald Alving.
