Bernt was appointed to the Chair of Forensic Medicine in 1813 at the University of Vienna and in 1815 succeeded Ferdinand Bernhard Vietz as professor of state medicine. As Lesky points out, Vienna was peculiar in combining hgiene and forensic medicine into a single discipline. It was under Bernt that students in Vienna were first able to perform forensic dissections. As a result "the first practical teaching facility for forensic medicine in the world originated at the Vienna Medica Faculty." In 1818 he established a separate forensic-medical operating theater in the 9th Court of the General Hospital, which turned into the Vienna Institute of Forensic Medicine. [Lesky p. 89]. From 1818 to 1823 Bernt published Beyträge zur gerichtlichen Arzneykunde, the first Austrian medicolegal serial, in which the forensic-medical cases dealt with at his institute were described [Lesky pp. 89-90].

One of the earliest books explicitly on the history of psychiatry. Written during a time when there was keen interest in France in hallucinations and illusions, Calmeil's book, which recounts the history of psychiatry from the 15th to the 19th centuries, attempts to explain on rational grounds (and devotes hundreds of pages to discussing) demonology, lycanthropy, religious possession, and kindred abnormal states. One of the Ur-texts for the historiography of psychiatry. Esquirol's pupil and successor as head physician at Charenton, Calmeil, along with Bayle, had earlier established general paresis as the first separately identified neuropsychiatric disease entity (which Calmeil named general paralysis of the insane in his 1826 book De la paralysie).

Heinroth's Major Contribution to Forensic Psychiatry

50. Heinroth, Johann Christian August (1773-1843).

System der psychisch-gerichtlichen Medizin, oder theoretisch-praktische Anweisung zur wissenschaftlichen Erkenntniß und gutachtlichen Darstellung der krankhaften persönlichen Zustände, welche vor Gericht in Betracht kommen. Leipzig: bei C. H. F. Hartmann, 1825. 1st Edition, 1st printing. xiv+554pp. 8vo. Contemporary marbled boards with vellum spine label. Foxed, else a very good copy. Uncommon. Probably Heinroth's most important book after his 1818 textbook of mental diseases and his major contribution to forensic psychiatry. Inquire | Order $1000.00

Heinroth developed a strongly theistic psychiatry in which he believed mental health could be learned through right conduct and that moral factors were important in the development of mental disorders. Though he had touched on forensic psychiatric issues in his 1818 textbook, he here developed his ideas systematically. "Heinroth's central concept is the person. Mental disturbances affect the person as a psychological unit, and it is as a free person that the individual functions in society. In forensic decisions, psychiatry and law join forces, for both are concerned with the question of whether a free agent chose to commit a criminal act. ... One of Heinroth's main purposes was to establish meaningful limits to the insanity defense. He especially opposed the dominant trend in forensic psychiatry, which defined all reprehensible or criminal acts as the product of psychopathology.86 Heinroth recognized that punishment had not been an effective deterrent and he separated guilt from punishment,87 recommending that the mentally ill who are found guilty should not be punished. If the person found not guilty by reason of insanity later recovered, he should not be punished then, since mental illness was punishment enough" [Otto Marx, "German Romantic Psychiatry Part I" in Wallace & Gach, Encyclopedic Handbook for the History of Psychiatry, Springer, forthcoming].

Apparently the author's only major contribution to psychiatry, emphasizing its legal aspects. See Hirsch III, p. 255, for biographical & bibliographical data. Born in Coburg, Hohnbaum from 1820 was chief physician to the Duchy of Sachsen-Hildburghausen. He translated a number of significant English medical works into German, perhaps most notably Ballie's anatomy. Under his own name he published a number of works on internal medicine and infectious diseases. He co-edited Nasse's Zeitschrift f. psych. Aerzte (from 1818), Pabst's Med. Zeitung (from 1835). He contributed numerous articles to medical periodicals dealing with various medical subjects, including psychiatry and forensics.
