James Cowles Prichard
James Cowles Prichard.

James Cowles Prichard (* 11. Februar 1786 in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire; † 23. Dezember 1848 in London) war ein englischer Arzt und Ethnologe.

Psychiatriehistorisch interessant ist sein Konzept der "moral insanity", das große Ähnlichkeiten zur Monomanielehre Esquirols und Marcs aufweist, und auf das Konzept der manie sine delirio Michael Ettmüllers und der manie sans délire Philippe Pinels zurückgeht.
