Abstract
Hughlings Jackson has exerted a considerable influence in psychiatry. This statement will surprise most psychiatrists because the work of “the father of British neurology” is not known to have made any direct impact on their specialty. It is true that striking similarities between Jackson's basic principles and those of so-called dynamic psychiatry have for some time been noted. But they have been regarded either as incidental or as indicative of the general influence of the theory of evolution.
