Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Diseases, Vol. 4: Published Quarterly; Papers in Honor of Dr. E. E. Southard´s Decennial Anniversary of the Bullard Professorship of Neuropathology at Harvard University It is only very recently that the importance of the study of neuropathology has been at all realized even in the most advanced medical schools of the United States. Up to the beginning of the present century nearly all work of a neuropathological character was done either by physicians who were not specially devoted to pathology, or by general pathologists, very few of whom had any real interest in the study of neuropathological specimens, or cared to devote the time to work in this direction or to learn the difficult and tedious technique required before their results could be of real value. In the latter part of the last century it was difficult and often impossible to obtain the information desired by the progressive clinician in regard to rare and valuable specimens, and too often the practitioner was informed that a brain or spinal cord appeared "normal" when he knew that his patient had suffered long and severely from symptoms derivable from an affection of these organs. These conditions were not only extremely trying and discouraging to the active practitioner who was desirous to know the pathological conditions of the diseases or affections he was devoting his life to treating, but they also discouraged many men from entering into the study of neurology. It took away from the psychiatrists and the superintendents of the hospitals for the insane and of the sanitaria for those afflicted with mental trouble the stimulus to make themselves, or cause to have made, pathological investigations which would throw light on their problems. Thus many of the superintendents were discouraged from any efforts in this direction, and for this cause among others were driven to devote themselves to administrative rather than to therapeutic or clinical problems.
