pp. 37-85
Abstrakt
The transition from anthropologically-oriented institutional psychiatry to so-called university psychiatry, which regarded itself as a natural science and which we associate with the name of Wilhelm Griesinger, is a change indicative of a comprehensive reorientation in scientific thinking in accordance with the so-called mechanistic viewpoint.
