Summary Examining the work of Georges Paul-Boncour and Jean Philippe, two now almost forgotten physicians active from the turn of the twentieth century on in the medical and educational field of ‘school hygiene’ for so-called abnormal children, this article exemplifies a specific current in psychiatry whose terms first kept oscillating between medico-pedagogical treatment and therapeutic hygiene. I investigate how Paul-Boncour and Philippe’s interest in abnormal children led them to challenge education as a whole. By attempting to individualise education, the two doctors were swimming against the tide of regular schooling, which evaluated children on their ability to fit in with others and fulfil preset expectations. The conflicts between these physicians and their contemporaries (teachers, psychologists, lawyers) attest the emergence of a dimension in psychiatry that was rooted in collaboration with teachers, as doctors and teachers worked together for the full development of ‘pedology’, the scientific study of children’s development.

Summary During the 1970s, the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) began to provide information and support to women experiencing postnatal mental illness, building on its promotion of natural childbirth and emphasis on the emotional wellbeing of women around birth, which had occupied the organisation since its establishment in 1956. This article argues that, alongside emotional, social and medical factors, the NCT attributed postnatal depression to the shift to hospital deliveries, involving high levels of intervention and frustrating women’s choice and agency. While sharing ambitions to improve care in childbirth and giving women a voice in describing their experiences, it is suggested that the NCT’s relationship with the feminist health movement remained ambiguous. The article also explores the NCT’s collaboration with a variety of experts and advisors, some of whom emphasised the risk of postnatal depression to the bonding process and infant’s development, potentially exacerbating the mental distress of new mothers.

Summary The article examines the contemporary satiric treatment of a new transatlantic drug, guaiac, in a sixteenth-century poem by the Castilian writer Cristóbal de Castillejo, entitled En alabança del palo de las Indias, estando en la cura dél (In Praise of the Wood of the Indies, being under its treatment). The article contributes to the body of scholarship on the history of medicine in general and the history of herbal medicine in particular. The investigation of the poem embraces historical contextualisation, early modern rhetoric and classical reception. The article demonstrates the two-way relationship between early modern satire and medicine, arguing that the special significance of satiric productions that engage with medical themes lies in the inventive combination of the literary reality and empirical reality.
本文考察了16世纪卡斯蒂利亚作家Cristóbal de Castillejo在一首题为En alabana del palo de las Indias, estando En la cura d (in Praise of The Wood of The Indies, under The treatment)的诗中对一种新的跨大西洋药物愈伤木的当代讽刺手法。这篇文章对整个医学史,特别是草药史的学术研究做出了贡献。对这首诗的研究包括历史语境化、早期现代修辞和古典接受。本文论证了早期现代讽刺与医学的双向关系,认为医学题材讽刺作品的特殊意义在于文学现实与经验现实的创造性结合。
