The forced migration process of German-speaking neurologists and psychiatrists under the Nazis during the 1930s and 40s is often preoccupied solely with "successful" concepts and therapeutic approaches. The case of German-Canadian neurologist Karl Stern (1906-1975) is very instructive, however, since the process of forced migration, for him, proved to be a transitionary process from his former cutting edge work in neuropathology and holist neurology in Germany to clinical psychiatry and the development of the new discipline of geriatric medicine in Canada.
20世纪30年代和40年代纳粹统治下说德语的神经学家和精神科医生的被迫迁移过程,往往只关注“成功的”概念和治疗方法。然而,德裔加拿大神经学家卡尔·斯特恩(1906 - 1975)的案例很有启发性,因为对他来说,被迫迁移的过程证明是一个从他之前在德国神经病理学和整体神经学的前沿工作,过渡到临床精神病学以及在加拿大发展老年医学新学科的过程。
