[Imperjalja. A view into the Oskar Panizza system based on his last writing. Instead of an obituary on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of his death]

Abstract

The physician and author Dr. med. Oskar Panizza died in 28. September 1921. The well educated psychiatrist who worked with Bernhard von Gudden and Emil Kraepelin at the "Oberbayerische Kreisirrenanstalt München" suffered from insanity. He broke off and became author within the Münchner "Gesellschaft für modernes Leben", publisher and critic of the contemporary psychiatry. Locked up, persecuted and restrained, Panizzas system is illustrated by the "Imperjalja", his last work that was written immediately before he was admitted at the Kreisirrenanstalt. Oskar Panizzas life and work are described. His paranoid system is illustrated by the "Imperjalia".
