[Wagner von Jauregg and development of malaria therapy]
Abstract
In this history of psychiatric therapy the progressive paralysis deserves special interest: for the first time an organic psychosis was treatable successfully by a procedure found by scientific methods. This article describes life and work of Julius Wagner, Ritter von Jauregg (1857-1940) and remembers the introduction of the malaria-therapy, which was developed by Wagner 75 years ago.
