L'avenement de la medecine clinique moderne en Europe, 1750-1815: Politiques, institutions et savoirs (review)
A controversy over the role of the "Paris School" in the development of clinical medicine around 1800 has agitated historians for more than thirty years. It began with two devotees of the political, social, and medical history of the Revolution and Napoleonic era, George Rosen and Erwin Ackerknecht. It reached a wide public when Michel Foucault issued the provocative claim that Revolutionary physicians used their power over huge numbers of destit…
Aux portes de la psychiatrie: Pinel, l'Ancien et le Moderne (review)
What were the assumptions and preoccupations of late eighteenth-century physicians concerning mental illness? Jackie Pigeaud's book places these doctors "at the doors to psychiatry."1 Long concerned with medical themes in ancient literature, Pigeaud documents a "veritable renaissance" of Greek and Roman medical learning in the Enlightenment, when physicians translated, reedited, understood, and cited the classical authorities (p. 242). In order t…
The City of Paris and the Rise of Clinical Medicine
This article argues that the city of Paris played a unique role in shaping clinical medicine at the Paris hospital at the turn of the nineteenth century. Under outstanding clinicians such as Corvisart, Pinel, Bichat, Desault, Alibert, Bayle, and Laennec, who headed the "Paris School," teaching and research became hospital-based. New methods such as percussion, mediate auscultation, and psychological evaluation were introduced, and autopsies becam…
La médecine des lumières: Tout autour de Tissot (review)
Samuel Auguste Tissot (1728-97) is a fine choice for a study of Enlightenment medicine: his life spanned the eighteenth century; his city, Lausanne, was accessible, from an intellectual, cultural, and religious point of view, to French-, [End Page 372] English-, and German-speaking physicians and patients; and his two famous books, On Onanism (1760) and Advice to the People Regarding their Health (1761), dealt with topics that preoccupied all str…
Soigner et consoler: La vie quotidienne dans un hôpital à la fin de l'Ancien Régime (Genève 1750-1820) (review)
The history of the hospital is a genre that has recently blossomed. If used imaginatively, it permits access to the life of a major municipal institution, its administration, finance, and provisioning; to the health-care professions, the hospital ministry; to clinical teaching and research; and, of course, to patients, selected diseases, and their treatments. A revised dissertation that covers the [End Page 796] Hôpital Général of Geneva during t…
Madness and Democracy: The Modern Psychiatric Universe (review)
The origins of this book are unique: in 1980, Gladys Swain, a brilliant young psychiatrist, planned to publish the archival documentation surrounding the birth of the asylum in France. While writing the introduction, she argued passionately with her colleague, the philosopher Marcel Gauchet, about the issues [End Page 376] underlying madness and democracy. And thus the introduction grew into this book--of 515 pages in the original

The Citizen-Patient in Revolutionary and Imperial Paris
Dr Roselyne Rey
We are grateful to Dora Weiner for allowing us to reprint her heart-felt obituary of Roselyne Rey, who passed away early this year. Those of us who had the fortune to know her will always remember her underplayed manner, youthful looks and powerful intellect. Her work combined the best in the French historio graphical tradition: networking of facts and imagination. She described this supremely well when referring to her own History of Pain: 'If t…
