Editors Robert Miller and John Dennison on An Outline of Psychiatry in Clinical Lectures, their translation of a collection of lectures by Carl Wernicke, a German pioneer of neurology and psychiatry.
Wernicke was born in what is now German-speaking part of what is now Poland in the 19th century. His neurology work is pretty well known in the English-speaking world, and there is even a part of the brain called the Wernicke.
Miller and Dennison talk to Bryan Crump about why, over 100 years after his death, his thoughts on psychiatry still have meaning today.
