Life
Max-Paul Engelmeier was born in 1921 as the son of the lawyer and politician Paul Engelmeier . He attended the Realgymnasium Münster and - after the impeachment of his father by the National Socialists in 1933 - schools in Heidelberg and Telgte . In 1940 he passed his school leaving examination in Münster. He studied medicine at the universities of Berlin , Würzburg , where he took the Physikum in 1943 , Greifswald , Tübingen and Münster . In military service he rose to the position of field doctor and was awarded the Iron Cross of both classes. Engelmeier was shot in the thigh and became a prisoner of war . In 1945 he was arrested in a reserve hospital for disrespectful behavior towards the Allied troops and was not released until 1947.
From December 1, 1947 to 1950, he worked as a trainee doctor at the Niedermarsberg Provincial Sanatorium . In 1948 he passed the state examination in Münster and received his doctorate there in 1949. From 1950 he worked at the University Psychiatric Clinic in Münster. He first published on topics in psychopharmacology , an area in which he also completed his habilitation in 1957. In 1963 he was appointed adjunct professor .
From 1965 to 1985 Engelmeier was the leading state medical advisor and director of the Rhineland State and University Clinic for Psychiatry at the Essen Clinic and full professor of psychiatry at the Ruhr University in Bochum .
From 1958 Engelmeier, together with Dieter Bente, Kurt Heinrich , Hanns Hippius and Walter Schmitt, developed a documentation system for the systematization of psychiatric findings ( psychopathology ), which after this group was merged with corresponding groups in Switzerland and Austria to form a working group for methodology and documentation in psychiatry found widespread use as an AMDP system in German-speaking countries and is still used in some cases today.
In 1960 he was one of the founders and until 1983 co-editor of the journal Pharmakopsychiatrie - Neuropsychopharmakologie (today: Pharmacopsychiatry ).
Engelmeier later turned to anthropology and especially to the points of contact between psychiatry and pastoral care . Engelmeier achieved his greatest public effectiveness as the final speaker of the 82nd German Catholic Convention in Essen, which was triggered by the disputes about the role and authority of the church teaching office - triggered by the encyclical Humanae Vitae of Pope Paul VI. - was coined.
