Life

He was the senior general surgeon at Örebro Hospital . Already in the 1970s, bullying by him became a much discussed term after a series of articles in a Swedish daily newspaper ( Dagens Nyheter ). Peter-Paul Heinemann sparked the discussion in 1969 with an article on apartheid phenomena and bullying behavior published in the journal Liberal Debatt , where he referred to the term bullying as it is used in Konrad Lorenz's book "Das so-called Böse".

On the radio station P1 from 1980 to 1994 he answered letters as a “radio doctor”, for which he was rewarded in 1984 with the great Bonnier journalism award. Heinemann has written books about illnesses as well as bullying and substance abuse.

Heinemann was on the ethical council for the question of salvaging the ferry Estonia, which sank in the Baltic Sea in 1994 . He was involved in Jewish circles and worked in October 1991 on a seminar on the Holocaust .

On the morning of February 23, 2003, Peter-Paul Heinemann died in his sleep at home in Fellingsbro. The then 71-year-old had previously suffered from heart problems for several years.
