Hans-Joachim Haase (born July 12, 1922 in Berlin ; † October 9, 1997 in Grevenbroich ) was a German neurologist and psychotherapist who became known for his work on the classification of typical neuroleptics and the development of the medical concept of the neuroleptic threshold .

Life

After completing his specialist training at the University Clinic in Bonn , Haase joined the mental hospital in Zug-Oberwil in Switzerland as an assistant doctor . In 1956 he moved to the Psychiatric Clinic of the Medical Academy in Düsseldorf . There habilitated Haase 1958. After a stay in the USA he went in 1961 to the Rheinische Landesklinik Dusseldorf . Haase later became deputy head of the state clinic.

In the 1960s, he trained as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist while working. 1973 Haase took over the management of the psychiatric Pfalzklinik Landeck in Klingenmünster . He led the 1100-bed hospital as medical director until his retirement in 1988. From the end of 1988 Haase was in a neuropsychiatry group practice in Grevenbroich operates.

Haase occupied himself early on with the optimization of drug treatment for patients with schizophrenia and developed a method for measuring neuroleptic potency. His observations were based on the first appearance of Parkinson's-like disorders, a typical side effect of neuroleptics . He formulated the theory that an antipsychotic effect would only set in with the occurrence of the undesirable Parkinsonoid . This connection was confirmed for all neuroleptics introduced up until the early 1970s. Only with the introduction of clozapine as the first representative of the atypical neuroleptics was this connection broken.

His Haase threshold test (HST or HNTT for Haase neuroleptic threshold test ) is based on comparing the handwriting of a patient before and during treatment with neuroleptics. In the 1950s and 1960s, Haase's discovery led to a massive reduction in the doses of neuroleptic drugs administered, initially only in Europe but - after the publication of his book The action of neuroleptic drugs together with Paul Janssen - also in the USA. The HST is still used today when using typical neuroleptics.
