The Diseases of the Will is a book written by Theodule Armand Ribot that explores the concept of volition and the various disorders that can affect it.

He also explores the relationship between volition and other mental processes, such as emotion and cognition, and discusses the ways in which these processes can interact to affect behavior.The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both academic and general readers. It provides a comprehensive overview of the topic of volitional disorders and offers insights into the nature of human behavior and the workings of the mind.
