Description
Summary:In the same years, Dervish Pasha (1859-1909), a physician at the Toptaşı Asylum, began to translate Emmanuel Régis's book, Précis de la Psychiatrie, into Turkish. [...]the beginning of the twentieth century psychiatry and neurology were minimally included in the syllabi of School of Medicine in Ottoman Empire. [...]one could easily guess the circumstances of the asylum in such an environment. Mazhar Osman also added that terms, such as "lunatic," "insane," "asylum," and "frenzy' were forbidden in Sultan Abdülhamid's era (1876-1908). [...]Mazhar Osman published his book Tababet-i Ruhiye (Psychiatry) shortly after the proclamation of the Second Ottoman Constitution in 1908, which led to the dethronement of Sultan Abdülhamid (17). First Scientific Meetings and Conferences Osmanlı Tababet-i Akliye ve Asabiye Cemiyeti has held monthly scientific meetings since 1918 October and organized conferences since 1919 October Mazhar Osman, the chairperson of the society at the time, started publishing a journal in 1919.
