Book excerpt: Fur die historische Entwicklung der Psychiatrie stellt das 19. Jahrhundert eine entscheidende Epoche dar. In dieses Jahrhundert fallen Prozesse und Ereignisse, die bis heute die Struktur und Ausrichtung des Faches massgeblich pragen: So ist die Entstehung der Psychiatrie als wissenschaftliche Disziplin und therapeutische Praxis mit der Tatigkeit von namhaften Psychiatern dieses Jahrhunderts, wie Reil, Heinroth, Jacobi, Griesinger oder Kraepelin, verbunden. Ebenso ist die feste Institutionalisierung des Fachs in staatlichen und privaten Versorgungseinrichtungen durch konkrete soziale, wirtschaftliche und politische Ereignisse des 19. Jahrhunderts massgeblich gepragt. Weiter steht das 19. Jahrhundert fur die 'Medikalisierung' des Faches und fur seine Abgrenzung sowohl gegenuber anderen medizinischen Fachrichtungen als auch gegenuber der Theologie und der Jurisprudenz. Schliesslich ist die Etablierung der Psychiatrie als universitares Fach - mit der Einrichtung von Universitatskliniken und ordentlichen Professuren - eine Entwicklung, die ihre Wurzeln und Bedingungsfaktoren ganz wesentlich in der zweiten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts im deutschsprachigen Raum hat. Uberblickt man den heutigen Stand der Psychiatrie in Deutschland, aber auch international, so wird deutlich, wie sehr das Fach von diesen historischen Vermachtnissen gepragt worden ist. Auch wenn das 20. Jahrhundert mit zum Teil fatalen und einschneidenden Ereignissen und Entwicklungen verbunden war, weisen die vorangegangenen Weichenstellungen doch auf eine uberraschende Aktualitat des 19. Jahrhunderts fur die Psychiatrie des 21. Jahrhunderts hin.

Download or read book Clinical Psychiatry in Imperial Germany written by Eric J. Engstrom and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The psychiatric profession in Germany changed radically from the mid-nineteenth century to the beginning of World War I. In a book that demonstrates his extensive archival knowledge and an impressive command of the primary literature, Eric J. Engstrom investigates the history of university psychiatric clinics in Imperial Germany from 1867 to 1914, emphasizing the clinical practices and professional debates surrounding the development of these institutions and their impact on the course of German psychiatry.The rise of university psychiatric clinics reflects, Engstrom tells us, a shift not only in asylum culture, but also in the ways in which social, political, and economic issues deeply influenced the practice of psychiatry. Equally convincing is Engstrom's argument that psychiatrists were responding to and working to shape the rapidly changing perceptions of madness in Imperial Germany. In a series of case studies, the book focuses on a number of important clinical spaces such as the laboratory, the ward, the lecture hall, and the polyclinic. Engstrom argues that within these spaces clinics developed their own disciplinary economies and that their emergence was inseparably intertwined with jurisdictional contests between competing scientific, administrative, didactic, and sociopolitical agendas.

Download or read book Diagnosing Dissent written by Rebecca Ayako Bennette and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although physicians during World War I, and scholars since, have addressed the idea of disorders such as shell shock as inchoate flights into sickness by men unwilling to cope with war's privations, they have given little attention to the agency many soldiers actually possessed to express dissent in a system that medicalized it. In Germany, these men were called Kriegszitterer, or "war tremblers," for their telltale symptom of uncontrollable shaking. Based on archival research that constitutes the largest study of psychiatric patient files from 1914 to 1918, Diagnosing Dissent examines the important space that wartime psychiatry provided soldiers expressing objection to the war. Rebecca Ayako Bennette argues that the treatment of these soldiers was far less dismissive of real ailments and more conducive to individual expression of protest than we have previously thought. In addition, Diagnosing Dissent provides an important reevaluation of German psychiatry during this period. Bennette's argument fundamentally changes how we interpret central issues such as the strength of the German Rechtsstaat and the continuities or discontinuities between the events of World War I and the atrocities committed—often in the name of medicine and sometimes by the same physicians—during World War II.

Download or read book Freedom and the Cage written by Leslie Topp and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spurred by ideals of individual liberty that took hold in the Western world in the late nineteenth century, psychiatrists and public officials sought to reinvent asylums as large-scale, totally designed institutions that offered a level of freedom and normality impossible in the outside world. This volume explores the “caged freedom” that this new psychiatric ethos represented by analyzing seven such buildings established in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy between the late 1890s and World War I. In the last two decades of the Habsburg Empire, architects of asylums began to abandon traditional corridor-based plans in favor of looser formations of connected villas, echoing through design the urban- and freedom-oriented impulse of the progressive architecture of the time. Leslie Topp considers the paradoxical position of designs that promoted an illusion of freedom even as they exercised careful social and spatial control over patients. In addition to discussing the physical and social aspects of these institutions, Topp shows how the commissioned buildings were symptomatic of larger cultural changes and of the modern asylum’s straining against its ideological anchorage in a premodern past of “unenlightened” restraint on human liberty. Working at the intersection of the history of architecture and the history of psychiatry, Freedom and the Cage broadens our understanding of the complexity and fluidity of modern architecture’s engagement with the state, with social and medical projects, and with mental health, psychiatry, and psychology.
Download or read book Psychiatric Institutions and Society written by Stefanie Coché and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book probes how the serious and sometimes fatal decision was made to admit individuals to asylums during Germany’s age of extremes. The book shows that - even during the Nazi killing of the sick - relatives played an even more important role in most admissions than doctors and the authorities. In light of admission practices, this study traces how ideas about illness, safety, and normality changed when the Nazi regime collapsed in 1945 and illuminates how closely power configurations in the psychiatric sector were linked to political and social circumstances.
Download or read book Cultures of Neurasthenia written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neurasthenia, meaning nerve weakness, was ‘invented’ in the United States as a disorder of modernity, caused by the fast pace of urban life. Soon after, from the early 1880s onwards, this modern disease crossed the Atlantic. Neurasthenia became much less ‘popular’ in Britain or the Netherlands than in Germany. Neurasthenia’s heyday continued into the first decade of the twentieth century. The label referred to conditions similar to those currently labelled as chronic fatigue syndrome. Why this rise and fall of neurasthenia, and why these differences in popularity This book, which emerged out of an Anglo-Dutch-German conference held in June 2000, explores neurasthenia’s many-sided history from a comparative perspective.
Download or read book The Continuum of Mental Disorders and Unitary Psychosis written by Mauricio Viotti Daker and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a thorough investigation of Griesinger, Kahlbaum, and Kraepelin’s foundational works in psychiatry. It offers an admirable opportunity to understand their achievements and thoughts, and its historical character makes it accessible to a wide range of readers interested in mental health. The analysis of continuities and discontinuities in their described mental disorders illuminates the current classification and diagnosis debate in psychiatry. This analysis comprises etiologic explanations and methodological grounds for each author’s classification. Implying an interrelation among the disorders, the unitary psychosis allows or demands a comprehensive mental disorder view, which includes the person. In this respect, other psychopathologists are also investigated in this book, and process philosophy is introduced, suggesting a fertile framework for psychopathology. According to German Berrios in his Preface, the book offers a new perspective on the nature and meaning of the concept of unitary psychosis.
Download or read book Memory Anniversaries and Mental Health in International Historical Perspective written by Rebecca Wynter and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-19 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to explore memory, misremembering, forgetting, and anniversaries in the history of psychiatry and mental health. It challenges simplistic representations of the callous nature of mental health care in the past, while at the same time eschewing a celebratory and uncritical marking of anniversaries and individuals. Asking critical questions of the early Whiggish histories of mental health care, the book problematizes the idea of a shared professional and institutional history, and the abiding faith placed in the reform of medicine, administration, and even patients. It contends that much post-1800 legislation drafted to ensure reform, acted to preserve beliefs about the ‘bad old days’ and a ‘brighter future’ in the state memories of imperial powers, which in turn exported these notions around the world. Conversely, the collection demonstrates the variety of remembering and forgetting, building on recent interest in the ideological and cultural linkages between past and present in international psychiatric practice. In this way, it seeks to trace the pathways of memory, exploring the direction of travel, and the perpetuation, remodeling, and uprooting of recollection.
