Summer Semester Mr Mitrofanov Analysis
In Summer Semester Mr. Mitrofanov has been continuing to work with sources and finishing a methodological chapter of the thesis. Studying sources was divided into two steps. At first, Mr. Mitrofanov was reading a bunch of German, English and American periodicals for clarifying international relations between the Russian imperial and counterpart psychiatric communities. He was mostly reading the following journals: Archiv für Psychiatrie und Nervenkrankheiten, Allgemeine Zeitschrift für Psychiatrie und psychisch-gerichtliche Medizin, Correspondenz-Blatt der Deutschen Geselschaft für Psychiatrie, Der Irrenfreund: psychiatrische Monatsschrift für praktische Aerzte, The American Journal of Insanity, The British Journal of Psychiatry, etc. Agreeing
to these periodicals one could conclude that the engagement of the Russian imperial psychiatry into international context had been highly increasing since the middle of the 19 century, as well as interactions between psychiatrists. Mr. Mitrofanov still needs time for scrutinizing this vast array of sources. Secondly, according to working plan, he was working in the State Archive of the Republic of Tatarstan and Moscow State Library in September. There he has found valuable missing data concerning the biography and everyday life of the first director of the Kazan District Hospital and the International Exhibition in Dresden essential for one of the chapters in the dissertation.
As it was aforementioned, Mr. Mitrofanov has been finishing the methodological chapter including three big issues of the thesis: 1) how Russian psychiatrists perceived ideas of counterparts and formulated their own self-analytical and self-critical matters of psychiatric reality in Russia, 2) Russian clinicians familiarizing abroad with mental houses and treatment procedures, 3) violence humanism and psychiatric power in the Russian Empire at the end of the 19 early 20 century. All of these topics have been approved by the scientific supervisor A. Renner. The preliminary results of the chapter will be reported within the panel discussion "Psychiatry between East and West" at the international congress of The Association for Slavic, East European, & Eurasian Studies (Washington DC, 17 - 20 of November). Mr. Mitrofanov implies to proceed his research in the following sequence: reading necessary sources, finishing the methodological part and continue to write a chapters of the dissertation.
