Zusammenfassung

Ziel der Studie: Dargestellt wird die Patientenversorgung in einer psychiatrischen Klinik zwischen 1946 und 1975.

Methode: Die relevanten ärztlichen Jahresberichte der Psychiatrischen Klinik Zwiefalten, heute ZfP Südwürttemberg, wurden gesichtet und inhaltlich ausgewertet.

Ergebnisse: Im Berichtszeitraum existieren deutliche organisatorische und strukturelle Mängel. Ab Ende der 40er-Jahre werden moderne Versorgungselemente sichtbar. Verbesserungen scheitern oft an Rahmenbedingungen.

Schlussfolgerung: Bereits vor dem Erscheinen des Enqueteschlussberichts wurden relevante Fortschritte im Behandlungsangebot erzielt.

Abstract

Objective: The article describes care in a psychiatric clinic between 1946 and 1975. This happens against the background of the current psychiatry-historical literature in which this phase of psychiatric care is described often summarily with the destructive words of the report of the ‘Psychiatrie-Enquêteʼ of 1975. Improvements achieved in this time were hardly examined up to now though they contributed substantially to the later effects of the ‘Psychiatrie-Enquêteʼ.

Methods: The medical annual reports of the psychiatric clinic of Zwiefalten, today ZfP Südwürttemberg, refering to the mentioned period were sighted and evaluated concerning their contents.

Results: In the called period evident organizational and structural defects are deplored in the annual reports. Nevertheless, from the late 1940 s on, modern care elements appear, as for example the broadening of the range of the therapeutic offers, multiprofessional treatment, diagnosis-specific concepts for the wards, opening of stations and extensive outpatient care.

Conclusion: It is shown that already before the appearance of the final report of the Enquête commission clear progress concerning psychiatric care was achieved.
