Psychopathologie und Homöopathie

Zusammenfassung

Der Verfasser stellt die Theorie auf, daß die homöopathische Unheilbarkeit von Geisteskrankheiten auf deren Wesensverschiedenheit von psychiatrischen Syndromen gestörter Organe (somatopsychischer Syndrome) beruhe, also der Similesatz selbst nicht falsch sei, hier jedoch falsch interpretiert werde.

Summary

The author gives a theory of the impossibility to cure mental illness by homoeopathy, even if there is a perfect homoeopathicity of the Symptoms. This is due to the pure somato-psychic character of the mental Symptoms of our experimented drugs in healthy probands. On the other hand, the true mental illness has no organic (somatic) origin, as we know today. Therefore, not the law of similars is invalid, but its Interpretation in such cases is wrong.
