Halae Magdeb., Literis Christiani Henckelii, 1720, Kl.4°, 56, (10) pp., orig. Rückenbroschur. Second Edition! "Georg Ernst Stahl's (1659-1714) major work was Theoria Medica Vera, published in 1707, in which he discussed mental diseases- A year later he continued his discussion of the same problems in "De Animi Morbis". He felt repelled by the increasing cleavage between body and mind. He felt that dhis dichotomy was unjustified and that it did harm to true understanding of disease in general and of mental disease in particular. Stahl therefore is to be considered a great pioneer in medicine in putting squarely before the doctor the task for forming a synthesis of physical and mental phenomena, of the organic and psychological as we would say today. Despite his deeply religious feelings, he approached the problem without theological preoccupations and as a true seventeenth -century empiricists. The separation of the consideration of living body from the problem of life he considered untenable. Inorganic matter and a dead body are different from living matter, the body. The fact that the body is alive is in itself proof that it is moved by a living force - a drive, an instinct which is closer to our effects, emotions, that it is to physics and chemistry. Stahl went to the extreme on this point. He even believed that a knowledge of the chemistry and physical is much less useful to a physician that an understanding of how the soul, the vital force, functions. see - G.

Stahl went to the extreme on this point. He even believed that a knowledge of the chemistry and physical is much less useful to a physician that an understanding of how the soul, the vital force, functions. Except for the terminology, Stahl's conception of mental diseases coincides in many points with the advanced psychodynamic views of the twentieth century. In a dissertation published in 1702 under the title "De Medicina Medcinae Necessaria", he pointed out "the stupendous, sudden and quick effect of the so-called passions and affects on the body." He believed that certain emotions might interfere with the recovery from a physical disease. In general, the various psychological reactions which Stahl observed in physical diseases, reactions which did not attract the serious attention of the psychopathologist until the twentieth century when they appeared under the name of pathoneuroses (Ferenczi) and psychosomatic disorders, should be considered of great clinical importance, for these psychological reactions are a sign of the self-preservation drives of the individual. Stahl even made the correct observation that dreams occasionally reflect the condition of certain abnormal bodily states. This he said was due to the "anima sensitive" -putting it into modern terminology, to unconscious perception. Stahl's views are based on the conception of "motus tonico-vitalis", which he discussed for the first time in his dissertation "De Motu Tonico-Vitalis" in 1692. He held the life force responsible for all motions, that is, for the functions, of a living organism. Mental diseases occur when the soul is impeded in its free function. This impediment or inhibition is frequently due to a mood or, what is the same thing, to an idea which is foreign or contrary to the direction of the life force. This is a somewhat awkward formulation of a concept which Freud promulgated early in his career when he spoke of the unconscious origin of symptoms and of the repressed, instinctual drives as capable of producing neuroses and psychoses. Stahl was the first to attempt to point out that certain deliriums or mental states are of a physical (organic) and others of an emotional (psychological, functional) origin. One should, for instance, differentiate certain erotic states which come from increased sensibility of the organs involved from those of purely psychological origin which are characterized by the predominance of erotic fantasies. This point of view proved extremely fruitful. The modern psychiatrist, totally unaware of this source of his clinical procedure, considers that one of his cardinal problems and duties is to differentiate organic from functional symptoms in every case .
