Psycho-Politics between the World Wars - Psychiatry and Society in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019):... Psycho-Politics between the World Wars - Psychiatry and Society in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019)

This book is about the psycho-political visions and programmes in early-twentieth century Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Amidst the political and social unrest that followed the First World War, psychiatrists attempted to use their clinical insights to understand, diagnose, and treat society at large. The book uses a variety of published and unpublished sources to retrace major debates, protagonists, and networks involved in the redrawing of the boundaries of psychiatry's sphere of authority. The book is based on three interconnected case studies: the overt pathologisation of the 1918/19 revolution led by right-wing German psychiatrists; the project of medical expansionism under the label of 'applied psychiatry' in inter-war Vienna; and the attempt to unite and implement different approaches to psychiatric prophylaxis in the movement for mental hygiene. By exploring these histories, the book also sheds light on the emergence of ideas that still shape the field to the present day and shows the close connection between utopian promises and the worst abuses of psychiatry.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - Deutschland - 1848, Kaiserreich, Imperialismus, Note: 1,0, Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, 46 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit spurt der Entstehung der nationalsozialistischen Ideologie in den Diskursen der so genannten "volkischen Bewegung" im zweiten deutschen Kaiserreich nach, wobei insbesondere das diffuse Konglomerat sozialdarwinistischer, antisemitischer, rassistischer und nationalromantischer Diskurse sowie die vielfaltigen Organisationsformen der "volkischen Bewegung" detailliert untersucht werden. Im Mittelpunkt stehen diejenigen Organisationen und Stromungen, in denen die politischen Ziele der volkischen Bewegung eine Uberhohung ins Transzendente erfahren - sei es als "arteigene" Interpretation des Christentums, als Germanenkult oder als esoterische Ariosophie. Die grundlegende These der Arbeit besteht darin, dass das antimoderne Denken, dass auf zahlreichen Wegen zum Gemeingut des deutschen Burgertums im Kaiserreich wurde, bereits lange vor dem Aufstieg der Nationalsozialisten grundlegende Elemente ihrer Ideologie verfugbar und popular gemacht hatte, so dass der Nationalsozialismus bei seinem Aufstieg zur Macht in der Weimarer Republik auf bereits bestehende Diskurse zuruckgreifen konnte, bzw. selbst genealogisch auf diese zuruckzufuhren ist. Zugleich wendet sich die Arbeit jedoch auch gegen die These eines "Ruckfalls" der volkischen Ideologie hinter die Moderne und verweist statt dessen auf den genuin modernen Charakter der antimodernen Diskurse als dialektischer Teil der Moderne im 19. Jahrhundert. Dabei greift der Verfasser auf eine umfangreiche und aktuelle Literatur zuruck.
