The Zeitschrift für psychische Aerzte — a journal for physicians of the mind — was published in Germany between 1818 and 1822 and belongs to the Romantic period of German medicine, when the study of mental illness was being founded as a discipline within the intellectual world of Naturphilosophie. Its concerns are the relations of soul and body: the passions understood, in a phrase reaching back to Plato, as convulsions of the organ of thought; the treatment of the insane by moral and psychological means; and above all magnetic somnambulism, the trance state produced by animal magnetism, which German physicians of this generation took seriously as a route into the hidden operations of the mind. It also engages the cranial doctrine of Franz Joseph Gall and Johann Spurzheim while both men were still alive and their claims still open. The journal stands at the German origins of psychological and psychosomatic medicine, with animal magnetism inside rather than outside its professional orbit, and it is the earliest German title in this archive. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
