Memoirs
When Emil Kraepelin died (15. 02. 1856-07. 10. 1926), he left behind his memoirs, which were not published until today. Co-workers and col leagues from the last years of Kraepelin's life and his family knew that such an autobiography existed, but they were not sure whether these memoirs should be made public, so they remained unpublished. At a commemoration 50 years after Emil Kraepelin's death in Mu nich (1976) the descendants, who attended the festivities, agreed to the editors' suggestion to publish the "Memoirs". Through this publication we have been able to learn more about the life of a man, whose work has had a decisive and lasting effect on the entire psychiatry since the end of the ...
The University Department of Psychiatry in Munich
This book first appeared in Germany in 2004. In response to the great amount of interest in the book expressed by colleagues from all over the world, we subsequently decided to produce this English version. We have also taken this opportunity to update the information on the Department of Psychiatry since 1994 to include further developments up to the present day (see Chapter 15). One can look at a hospital from all kinds of different perspectives. For psychiatrists with the daily medical task of dealing with the life histories of their patients, it is understandable that they are interested in the development of their hospital from a historical perspective. To do this for the University Department of Psychiatry of Munich an introduction can be made by reminding the reader of a date: just over 100 years ago, on November 7, 1904, the newly constructed »Royal Psychiatric Hospital of the University of Munich« was inaugurated with a ceremonial act and handed over to the public. Emil Kraepelin gave a ceremonial speech on the occasion.

Psychiatry
Descriptions of psychiatric disorders including dementia praecox and various forms of psychosis.
Dementia Praecox and Paraphrenia
The German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin (1856 - 1926) is justly called the father of modern psychiatry. He was the first to identify dementia praecox (schizophrenia) and manic-depression, and he pioneered the use of drugs to treat mental illness. He was also joint discoverer of Alzheimer's disease - which he named after his collaborator, Dr Alois Alzheimer. Kraepelin presented these and other discoveries in successive editions of his Psychiatrie: Ein Lehrbuch (definitive 8th edition also now available from Thoemmes Press). Much of this gigantic textbook can only be read in the original German; but parts of it were translated into English, and they had a very profound influence on the development of world psychiatry for the rest of the 20th century.
Emil Kraepelin und die Krankheit von James Loeb
Im Februar 1917 litt James Loeb unter der bis dahin schwersten manischen Episode seiner Bipolarstörung. Über die Behandlung durch Emil Kraepelin und den Verlauf wurden Krankenberichte angefertigt, die von Antonia von Hirsch kritisch analysiert werden. Dieses einmalige Dokument der „Krankheitsberichte des Herrn J. Loeb“ spiegelt die lege-artis-Behandlung eines hochmanischen Patienten in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jhd. wider. Zudem kann die Autorin anhand dessen und in Zusammenhang mit anderen Textdokumenten erstmals eine Diagnose für James Loeb stellen, dessen eigene Leiderfahrung Anlass zur Stiftung des Forschungsinstituts für Psychiatrie war. Die Autorin:Antonia von Hirsch hat an der Klinik und Poliklinik für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität mit dieser Schrift promoviert.
American Madness
In 1895 there was not a single case of dementia praecox reported in the United States. By 1912 there were tens of thousands of people with this diagnosis locked up in asylums, hospitals, and jails. By 1927 it was fading away . How could such a terrible disease be discovered, affect so many lives, and then turn out to be something else? In vivid detail, Richard Noll describes how the discovery of this mysterious disorder gave hope to the overworked asylum doctors that they could at last explain—though they could not cure—the miserable patients surrounding them. The story of dementia praecox, and its eventual replacement by the new concept of schizophrenia, also reveals how asylum physicia...
Moritz Bendit und die Kuranstalt Neufriedenheim
Der aus Fürth stammende jüdische Kaufmann Moritz Bendit litt nach einer Erkrankung als junger Mann an Wahnvorstellungen und körperlichen Beeinträchtigungen. Im Jahre 1898 wurde er in die Münchner Kuranstalt Neufriedenheim aufgenommen, in der er fast 42 Jahre verbringen sollte. Im September 1940 fiel er der „Euthanasie" zum Opfer. Die international renommierte Kuranstalt Neufriedenheim war unter der Leitung von Hofrat Dr. Ernst Rehm vorwiegend auf wohlhabende Patienten ausgerichtet. Aber auch weniger bemittelte Künstler wie die Schriftstellerin Marieluise Fleißer gehörten zu den Patienten. Die Eindrücke ihres Aufenthalts im Jahre 1938 verarbeitete sie später zu einer Erzählung, in der sie auch auf die Lage der jüdischen Anstaltspatienten in der NS-Zeit einging. Dieses Buch untersucht die Gründung, den Aufstieg und das Ende der Kuranstalt Neufriedenheim anhand der Lebensgeschichten des national-liberalen und schließlich nationalsozialistischen Psychiaters Ernst Rehm und seines jüdischen Patienten Moritz Bendit.
