Neurology in the German training system for psychiatrists - a personal view

Cornelia Thiels. Br J Psychiatry. 2013 Dec.

Abstract

In mid-19th-century Germany the conviction that 'mental disease is brain disease' was accompanied by a call for social reform in psychiatry. During neurology training, future psychiatrists often encounter patients with mental disorders rarely seen in psychiatric departments and learn how to avoid misdiagnosing brain diseases as mental disorders.
