Jean Paul Hasse

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean Paul Hasse (born December 24, 1830 in Rotenburg (Wümme) ; † February 6, 1898 in Königslutter am Elm ) was a German psychiatrist and a representative of the "Illenauer School" . He was a co-founder and long-time director of the Brunswick sanatorium and nursing home in Königslutter .

Life

Hasse, son of the medical councilor Friedrich Hasse, visited the Ernestinum Celle . After graduating from high school in 1851, he studied medicine in Göttingen . In 1852 he became a member of the Corps Hannovera . After his license to practice medicine, he visited Paris hospitals in June 1856 and actually wanted to go to Vienna . His father's college friends, however, kept him in Switzerland , where he was offered an assistant position at the newly built Préfargier insane asylum ( Canton Neuchâtel ), which he took up on December 1, 1856. Here he devoted himself mainly to science and wrote, among other things, a work "About suicide", which in 1859 received the first prizes at the natural scientist meeting in Karlsruhe.

On May 1, 1860, he followed a call from Christian Friedrich Wilhelm Rollers to the Badische Landesirrenanstalt Illenau , where he formed the so-called "Illenauer School" together with Karl Hergt , Heinrich Schüle and Richard von Krafft-Ebing . In 1865 he was appointed by the Duchy of Braunschweig to head the new insane asylum in Königslutter. Here he made a name for himself as an advocate of the "non-restraint" system, which he had got to know in Illenau and in which coercive measures were not used in the treatment of the insane. Hasse had seen the means of coercion still used in Préfargier and cited this experience as the reason for moving to Illenau.

When Hasse arrived in Königslutter in March 1865, the new building of the institution was almost complete. He was only able to make small changes to the room size. The first sick people were admitted on December 1, 1865, but there was a lack of trained nursing staff. He himself had to be the head guard in the men's wards and his wife that of the head guard in the womens wards in order to guide the nursing staff in cleaning, bedding and caring for the sick. When the capacity of 150 places had already been reached in the summer of 1872, Hasse managed to expand the institution by adding extensions.

Königslutter sanatorium and nursing home (1890), the walls visible in the foreground had Hasse opened and partly removed.

Hasse campaigned for the walls that enclosed the prison premises to be opened and dismantled as far as possible, and for the sick in the prison to be able to stay in an “open-door system” in special villas. In 1881, for example, he pushed through the construction of some pavilions based on the English model. He developed his own institutional autonomy with various craft workshops.

Hasse had less time for scientific work. In 1879 he published a larger work on "Asylums and their organization" and in 1880 he wrote "On the overburdening of students in higher education institutions" and on the care for the uncured released. With him were working Georg Langreuter (1855-1902), John Vorster (1860-1904) and Fritz Gerlach (1858-1950).

A gout illness forced him to say goodbye in 1896. He moved to Braunschweig , but returned to Königslutter in mid-January 1898 to die there.
