[Psychiatrist--psychiatric critic--"Pazjent". The anti-psychiatry concept of Oskar Panizza (1853-1921)].

Most of the works of the physician and author Dr. med. Oskar Panizza were confiscated. Panizza himself was locked up and persecuted because of his works. Panizza was a well-educated psychiatrist working with Bernhard von Gudden and Emil Kraepelin at the "Oberbairische Kreisirrenanstalt München". When his family was afflicted with cases of mental disorders Panizza himself felt threatened from insanity. He broke off and became critic of the contemporary psychiatry. He drew up a kind of a psychistic psychiatry that anticipated important contents of the Anti-psychiatry of the 1970s.
