Life
A native of Bremen Caspar Kulenkampff completed after the High School with an interruption due to its participation in the Second World War, a study of medicine . As a result, he completed further training as a psychiatrist and neurologist in Heidelberg . In 1952, Kulenkampff moved to the psychiatric clinic at the University of Frankfurt , where he completed his habilitation under Jürg Zutt before he was appointed senior physician there in 1960. In 1966, Kulenkampff was given the chair of psychiatry at the University of Düsseldorf and the management of the major psychiatric hospital in Düsseldorf-Grafenberg .
After Kulenkampff had created a first day clinic , then a night clinic and a transitional home at the Frankfurt Clinic in 1962 as a reaction to the poor conditions of the patients, who were placed more on preservation than on treatment , he succeeded together with Walter, the professor of psychiatry at Heidelberg University Ritter von Baeyer to publicize the ideas of a psychiatric reform in the German Association for Public and Private Welfare.
With the support of Walter Picard , the order from the German Bundestag to the federal government emerged to have a survey drawn up on the care of the mentally ill. In 1970 Caspar Kulenkampff took over the chairmanship of the expert commission set up by the Federal Minister of Health , the aim of which was to present the situation in psychiatry in Germany. In addition, Kulenkampff chaired the federal government's expert commission on reforming care in the psychiatric sector. In honor of Kulenkampff, who wrote studies on anthropological psychiatry, the Caspar Kulenkampff Prize was launched. This award is given in recognition of outstanding achievements in the field of psychiatry.
