Deutschsprachige Neurologen und Psychiater: Ein biographisch-bibliographisches Lexikon von den Vorläufern bis zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts

Published in 1996, this comprehensive three-volume biographical dictionary was compiled by Alma Kreuter to document the lives and scholarly contributions of German-speaking neurologists and psychiatrists. The work serves as a significant reference tool, spanning the history of these medical fields from their early precursors up to the mid-20th century. Its creation was motivated by the need to consolidate scattered biographical and bibliographical information into a single, accessible resource for medical historians and researchers.

The design of this lexicon reflects the traditional standards of academic publishing established by De Gruyter. Kreuter aimed for high bibliographic precision, meticulously cataloging the professional legacies of scholars whose work was often interrupted or obscured by the political upheavals of the 20th century. Upon its release, it was received by the academic community as an indispensable archival achievement, noted for its thoroughness and its role in preserving the intellectual genealogy of European psychiatry and neurology.
