Abstract:
Psychiatric conventions in Germany have taken place since the 1840s. Concerning content and influence, outstanding was one in 1865 for scientists and physicians in Hannover, Germany. Practical and scientific problems of current psychiatric interest were discussed, particularly the question of monomania in the context of Unitarian theory, and further new, extramural ways of psychiatric care which already had received notice abroad (family care, agricultural colonies). The Hannover congress reveals the progressive influence of German institutional psychiatry.
