The expressive psychopathology of the Japanese poet, Sakutaro Hagiwara.

Sakutaro Hagiwara is a famous Japanese poet from the early part of this century. His debut collection of poems, 'Tsuki ni Hoeru', contains a number of works characterized by the strange and abnormal impression they convey. The various and characteristic psychotic symptoms exhibited by this poet have been the subject of much discussion and pathographic description. However, it seems that there have been few considerations as to the meaning of such poetic expression for Sakutaro. In the present study, the relationship between his internal psychopathology and such forms of expression was examined. Furthermore, the influence of the contemporary fin de siècle art and the significance of the choice of poetry as his medium of expression was considered. It was found that his earliest psychopathological problems, such as anthropophobia (which could well be viewed as having been engendered by the particular Japanese cultural climate of that time) and systemic depersonalization, both led to his own anxiety about existence; expressing himself through the medium of poetry was a kind of self-healing act for Sakutaro, who had been suffering seriously from feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt.

Sir Thomas Browne: physician 1605-1682 and the Religio Medici.

Sir Thomas Browne, 1605-1682, a physician of great scholarship, published his Religio Medici in 1642 as an expression of his own religious and professional beliefs. He had studied in Oxford and then turned to medicine and he pursued these studies in the Uni-versities of Montpellier, Padua and Leiden in Europe. Returning to Britain, he completed his medical degree and practised in Norwich for over three decades. He was considered one of the foremost physicians in England, although he did not practise in London, and he was conscious of the need for doctors to have a good knowledge of anatomy at a time when, before anaesthesia, surgery was becoming more adventurous. He was knighted by King Charles II in 1671. The curtailment of anatomy teaching in many undergraduate and postgraduate schools of medicine today would not have appealed to Browne. It is of growing concern to surgical colleges and academies who are now required to provide additional postgraduate anatomy teaching in order to satisfy the requirements of their examinations for surgeons.

The epileptology of Théodore Herpin (1799-1865).

The Frenchman, Théodore Herpin (1799-1865), in Des Accès Incomplets d'Epilepsie, published posthumously in 1867, provided a very detailed account of a wide range of the possible manifestations of nonconvulsive epileptic seizures. However, he did not note the presence of absence seizures in any of his 300 patients who had experienced, at least in some of their attacks, what he considered were incomplete manifestations of epilepsy, the word "epilepsy" being taken to refer to full generalized tonic-clonic seizures. In the one patient, Herpin recognized that all epileptic seizures, whether complete or incomplete, began in the same way, and deduced that they must originate in the same place in that patient's brain. He did not develop the latter idea further. His observations, and his interpretation of them, seem to have preceded John Hughlings Jackson's independent development of similar concepts, but Jackson's more extensive intellectual exploration of the implications of his observations made him a more important figure than Herpin in the history of epileptology.

[Wilhelm Griesingers "Magna Charta" of psychiatry. Its reception and impact on modern psychiatry].

The work of Wilhelm Griesinger, really a magna charta of psychiatry, is usually reduced to just one sentence: "Geisteskrankheiten sind Gehirnkrankheiten", roughly: "mental illnesses are brain disorders". However, this is neither explicitly stated in Griesingers work nor does it adequately summarise his conception. This misinterpretation will be questioned by a careful analysis of the literature, and, in addition to that, the dimensions of Griesingers psychiatry including its delayed impact on the development of modern psychiatry will be described.
