Honestly as someone who was diagnosed with a mental disorder in the 2010s reading the chapters about Dmitri's trial is incredibly funny. Just a bunch of people who barely know what a mental illness is arguing about psychology potentially being bullshit. OF COURSE IT'S BULLSHIT YOU'RE IN THE LATE 1800S PSYCHOLOGY IS LITERALLY JUST STARTING TO BE BORN AND MENTAL ILLNESSES DON'T EVEN HAVE NAMES YET GIVE IT AT LEAST A CENTURY OF TRIAL AND ERROR FIRST.
