14:00 Workshop 2 September 1999
| The Medical Profession during and after National Socialism. Change of Paradigm or Continuity? |
|
| Psychiatry and medicine post-'45 could give the impression that there has been continuity, in relation to both specific persons and institutions. Military-like regulations and hierarchical working conditions promoting dependency point to a structural continuity in hospitals; organ-centred and reductionist biological approaches in diagnosis and therapy point to a continuity in thought. |
|
| Werner Vogt was born in 1939 in Zams/Landeck, Tyrol. A surgeon specialising in accident injuries, he is senior physician of the Lorenz-Böhler-Unfallkrankenhaus and one of the main founders of the group "Kritische Medizin". During the last thirty years, Vogt has published extensively in his own professional field as well as on broader political issues, for example in: Arm Krank Tot. Argumente für ein gewaltloses Krankenhaus (ed. by Michael Lewin). Wien Zürich 1989 (Poor Ill Dead: an Argument for a Nonviolent Hospital). |
