| Σύνοψη: | This article describes the Renaissance psychiatrist Peter Meir, who was licensed in 1539 by Nuremberg's Inner Council as the Physician of the Mad to treat the mentally ill. Meir examined patients' urine for diagnostic purposes, prescribed medications, and was noted for restoring two patients to "good sense and reason." The Council remunerated Meir for his services and allowed him to practice in Nuremberg. The mistreatment of a woman patient, a dispute about fees, and medications considered to be improper, may have been the reasons for Meir's expulsion from Nuremberg. The case of Peter Meir may cast some light upon the subsequent emergence of the psychiatric profession. |
