AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Friedrich Groos
Investigations into the Moral and Organic Conditions of Insanity and Immorality
Presented for Consideration to Physicians and Philosophers of Law
Heidelberg and Leipzig, New Academic Bookshop of Karl Groos
1826
21.5 x 12 cm, title-original softcover; title page, 88 pages, 2 publisher’s ads
Groos (1768-1852) studied law at the “Hohe Karlsschule” in Stuttgart and then medicine, among others with Johann Peter Frank in Padua. From 1814 onward he was a physician at the Institution for the Insane and the Suffering in Pforzheim, one of the oldest such institutions in Germany. In 1826 the psychiatric asylum was separated and moved with Groos to Heidelberg. Groos’s assistant was Christian Roller, who later founded and led Illenau. Groos was, according to Dörner (Citizen and Madmen, 1969, p. 287), a “liberal revolutionary supporter, who strove for legal reform and the protection of the insane (and) bridged between idealist and somatic psychiatry.” KIRCHOFF I, 51ff.
