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variety of published and unpublished sources to retrace major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.

The True Story of a Dog Who Saved a Man ...and a Man Who Saved a
Dog! Mike Lingenfelter was ready for his life to be over. Two
serious heart attacks and open heart surgery had taken away most of
the good things that he had in his life. He just didn't care
anymore. His doctors still held out hope for him, however, and they
were still trying to find ways to motivate him to get out of the
house and exercise. Their vision was that an energetic dog on a
leash might do that for Mike. And so it was that this golden
retriever named Dakota, who had been rescued from death himself,
came to help Mike with his rehabilitative therapy. Their
relationship wasn't supposed to be anything too profound or
metaphysical or scientific, but as it turns out, at the other end
of the leash was much more than a dog. Dakota gave Mike back his
dignity, his pride, and his life. Early on, it became evident to
Mike that this wonderful 98-pound, red-haired, four-legged angel
had a special gift: Dakota was a spirit guide, and it was Mike's
duty to share him and the power of the human-animal bond. Dakota
continually helped make miracles happen, for Mike and for others.
But ultimately, as part of that journey, one more miracle was
needed, as Dakota fought a courageous and dignified battle for his
own life.
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.
