Tid 9 okt 08:00 - 11 okt 17:00

Arrangör Institute for the History of Medicine of the Robert Bosch Foundation, Stuttgart
Deadline for abstracts: February 28th, 2015
Within the last 20 years the history of psychiatry has developed into a multidisciplinary field of research, in which psychiatry as science, its institutions, forms of therapies and social practices have been examined. Although there some studies on hand about the history of the professionalization of psychiatric nursing, the history of psychiatry can still be considered as a desideratum in research.
The planned conference is intended to provide a compilation of research activities in the field of history of psychiatric nursing. Moreover it is supposed to develop and discuss innovative research questions. To examine the everyday life of psychiatric nurses a wider perspective on female and male patients in psychiatric facilities is indispensable, because both groups were closely linked to each other. Therefore, the papers of the conference should combine questions from the history of nursing with questions from the history of patients. Concerning the scope of the papers both fields of research can be weighted differently.
Possible topics are:
- historical developments and chances in the field of the education and the occupational image of psychiatric nursing
- historical changes concerning concepts of nursing care
- practices in psychiatric nursing
- relationship between nurses and psychiatrists
- relationship between nurses and patients, patients’ perspectives on nurses
- role of nurses in the context of the introduction of new (somatic) therapies in psychiatry
- experiences of patients in psychiatric facilities
- reforms in psychiatry and the role of nurses and/or patients
- role of nurses concerning the implementation and maintenance of discipline in psychiatric facilities
- criticism of psychiatry and nurses
- community-based psychiatry and social psychiatry
- patients and nursing at the interfaces of community-based psychiatry, social psychiatry and special education
