Romantic Psychiatry - Roman wa seishin igaku (English spelling) romantische Psychiatrie [Germany]

Japanese: ロマン派精神医学 - ロマンはせいしんいがく（英語表記）romantische Psychiatrie[ドイツ]

A type of psychiatry with a strong psychological tendency that emerged in Germany in the first half of the 19th century, it maintained that mental illness literally originated from mental causes, and that even if physical lesions were involved, these were merely secondary results. For this reason, people of this school are sometimes called Psychiatrists. The central figures were JCA Heinroth (1773-1843) and KW Ideler (1795-1860), the former of whom advocated a theological tone that placed great importance on human sin, while the latter of whom took a life history stance based on unsatisfied passions. Both of these were fiercely attacked by the somatists, who emphasized anatomical and physiological aspects, and a lively debate ensued between the two schools.

19世紀前半のドイツに現れた心理主義的傾向の強い精神医学で，精神病は文字どおり心の原因で起こり，身体的病変をともなうにしても二次的な結果にすぎないと主張した。ゆえにこの派の人々を心理主義者Psychikerと呼ぶこともある。中心人物はハインロートJ.C.A.Heinroth(1773‐1843)とイーデラーK.W.Ideler(1795‐1860)の2人で，前者はとくに人間の罪を重く見る神学的論調をかかげ，後者は満たされない情念を基本とする人生史的立場をとったが，これらはいずれも解剖学的･生理学的側面を重視する身体主義者Somatikerからはげしく攻撃され，両派のあいだに盛んな論争が続いた。
