Synopsis
Une Visite À L'abendberg by Robert Henri J. Scoutetten. This work records a travelogue-like visit to the Abendberg, a Swiss charitable institution, and details the life and methods of Dr. Guggenbühl, who dedicates his life to caring for 'cretins' and 'idiots.' The narrator describes the ascent from Interlaken to the Abendberg, the austere yet serene landscape, and the modern facility where patients receive medical and educational treatment. The text distinguishes cretinism from idiocy and outlines the founder's theory that environmental and physical factors shape mental development, and that with structured care patients can progress from dependence to capability. The hands-on approach includes hygiene, nutrition (goat milk), physical exercise, and specialized therapies, as well as schooling in arithmetic, geography, reading, and language, alongside religious instruction. The narrative emphasizes the compassionate, almost paternal role of the doctor, supported by dedicated female staff. News of Guggenbühl's work travels across Europe and beyond, inspiring interest and debate about humane care for the disabled and urging reform in other countries.
