…This seems clear from the fact that the German word Psychiatrie and the English word psychiatry, which correspond to psychiatry, are derived from the Greek words psychē (mind) and iatreuō (to heal). However, this was not the case originally. When the German physician JC Reil first used the word Psychiatrie in his book Contributions to the Promotion of Mental Therapy (1808), it certainly did not mean "to heal the mind" but "to heal with the mind." In other words, Psychiatrie was a kind of mental treatment technique that should be applied not only to mental illnesses but also to all physical illnesses. *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Reil, JC" are listed below.

…このことは,精神医学にあたるドイツ語のPsychiatrie,英語のpsychiatryなどが,ギリシア語のpsychē(精神)+iatreuō(癒(い)やす)に由来するという事情に照らしても明らかなようにみえる。しかし,元来はそうでなく,ドイツの医学者ライルJ.C.Reilがその著書《精神的治療法の促進に対する寄与》(1808)ではじめてPsychiatrieという語を使った当時は,〈精神を癒やす〉のではなく〈精神で癒やす〉という意味だったことが確かで,つまり,精神の病気だけでなくすべての身体疾患にも適用しなければならない精神治療術ともいうべきものがPsychiatrieだったのである。 ※「Reil,J.C.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
