Context:

  • The late 18th and early 19th centuries saw a divergence in medical philosophies.
  • The Enlightenment promoted 'corrective' therapies, linking treatment with education, notably in orthopaedics and psychiatry (e.g., Brownianismus).
  • Simultaneously, 'sympathetic' healing, rooted in ancient practices, resurged through mesmerism (animal magnetism) during the 'electric age'.

Purpose:

  • To explore the dynamic interplay between corrective and sympathetic therapeutic principles in medicine around 1800.
  • To analyze how these opposing yet complementary approaches influenced patient-doctor relationships.
  • To examine the significance of this tension in the context of Enlightenment and Romantic Medicine.

Summary:

  • Medical practice around 1800 was defined by two dominant, traditional therapeutic principles: correction and sympathy.
