"Kann der Körper genesen, wo die Seele so gewaltig krankt? : b weibliche Gemüts- und Nervenleiden in der Patientenkorrespondenz Hahnemanns am Beispiel der Kantorstochter Friederike Lutze (1798 - 1878) / vorgelegt von Miriam Leoni Schriewer.

The subject of the study is the patient correspondence between Samuel Hahnemann and Friederike Lutze in the period from 1831 to 1833. On the basis of letters and daily descriptions the perceptions of the patient are shown and analysed. These symptoms were mainly of a mental or psychic nature regarding the current point of view. Hereby among others the medical concepts and contemporary knowledge are focused. The period of time, in which the correspondence took place, represents a time of change concerning the interpretation of mental sensations and perceptions. The tradition of humoral pathology as well as the "vapeurs" and the rise of the "nerves" can be found in the descriptions of the patient. Friederike Lutze even addresses the incipient discipline "psychology", it becomes an important issue in the doctor-patient relationship. The last part of the dissertation represents the transcription of the handwritings.
