Abstract
A historical account of the concept of lunacy in terms of its symptomatology and aetiological models, and a critical review of its validity and reliability are given. It is concluded that there is no unequivocal support for a belief in a lunar influence on human behaviour and that any future research should be directed towards the specification of the behaviour and people that might be affected by the phases of the moon.
