Fra psykopati til miljøskade: Da Danmark begyndte at forstå det syge børnesind

from Brainstorm · host Videnskab.dk

I 1942 bliver 7-årige Erik indlagt på Rigshospitalets første børnepsykiatriske afdeling. Mistanken? At han er psykopat.I dag lyder det voldsomt. Men i 1930’erne og 40’erne var ‘psykopati’ en udbredt diagnose blandt danske børn og unge - og et vidnesbyrd om en tid, hvor forståelsen af det syge børnesind så helt anderledes ud.I denne episode rejser vi tilbage til børnepsykiatriens spæde begyndelse på Rigshospitalet i 1935. Sammen med en medicinhistoriker, der har nærlæst over 250 sager fra arkiverne, dykker vi ned i historierne om de børn, der blev udredt, diagnosticeret og behandlet i en tid præget af helt andre forklaringer på psykisk sygdom.Du får indblik i nogle af de mest opsigtsvækkende diagnoser, datidens psykiatere stillede - og i de behandlingsformer og tankesæt, der formede synet på børn med psykiske lidelser.Og sidst, men ikke mindst: Du bliver klogere på, hvordan fortidens fejltrin, blinde vinkler og ‘synder’ stadig kaster lange skygger - og kan være med til at forklare, hvorfor børnepsykiatrien ser ud, som den gør i dag._Kan du lide vores podcast eller har du forslag til nye, spændende emner?
