Psychiatry Degeneration Mental disorders and diseases Eugenics Heredity 20th century, early 19th century Germany North America Monakow, Constantin von Morel, Bénédict Auguste Forel, August Henri Rüdin, Ernst

French-Austrian psychiatrist Bénédict Augustin Morel's (1809-1873) raité des dégénérescences physiques, intellectuelles et morales de l'espèce humaine 1857) was fully dedicated to the social problem of degeneration and it became very attractive to German-speaking psychiatrists during the latter half of the 19th century. Auguste Forel (1848-1931) and Constantin von Monakow (1853- 1930) in Zurich integrated Morel's approach and searched for the somatic and morphological alterations in the human brain; a perspective of research that Ernst Ruedin (1874-1952) at Munich further prolonged into a thorough analysis of hereditary influences on mental health. This paper investigates the continuities and major differences within some early eugenic traditions of the emerging field of psychiatry in the German-speaking countries and North America.
