  • In 1881 J. M. Machado de Assis published a short novel entitled The Psychiatrist. The main character, Simao Bacamarte, “a physician of noble birth”, devoted himself to “the health of the soul” (as he defined psychopathology) and conceived a new, revolutionary (for the times) hypothesis: “The number of persons suffering from insanity, he believed, was far greater than commonly supposed”. Dr Bacamarte explains: “Till now, madness has been thought a small island in an ocean of sanity. I am beginning to suspect that it is not an island at all but a continent”.

  • The Analysis of Therapeutic Groups: F. Kräupl Taylor

  • Eric Crouch
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    02 January 2018, pp. 278-280

  • Frederick Kräupl Taylor came to the UK in 1939 at the age of 34 as a refugee from Czechoslovakia. He had specialised there in internal medicine, but could not initially gain medical registration here. He worked for a period in the pathology laboratory at the York Retreat and, in his spare time, studied mathematics, statistics, philosophy and psychology. Later he trained as a psychiatrist and was invited by Sir Aubrey Lewis to the Maudsley Hospital, where he was a consultant from 1948 until 1971.
