Abstract

This article focuses on the circulation of knowledge about epilepsy in Sweden between 1915 and 1940. During the period medical research on epilepsy increased, which simultaneously brought a new degree of specialisation and distinction between branches of medicine. The aim of this article is to study the impact of new medical knowledge about epilepsy on the treatment and education of children with epilepsy in Sweden. In order to concretise the aim, the study focuses on the asylum Margarethahemmet. The key source material consists of Margarethahemmet’s annual reports and yearbooks. The minutes of the meetings of the Swedish General Association for the Care of the Feebleminded and Epileptic for the period 1915–1938 have been used as supplementary material. In order to trace the impact of medical discoveries on Margarethahemmet’s operations, contemporary scientific articles, mostly from Germany, have also been used. The article demonstrates how new research and new knowledge was sought internationally and nationally, to provide doctors and special teachers at the asylum with a proper knowledge about education, care and treatment for children with epilepsy. The increased understanding of the disease directly impacted the ability of a stigmatized group – people with epileptic disorder – to actively participate in society on the same terms as others.

机构护理与教育:1915-40 年瑞典癫痫知识的传播
本文主要介绍 1915 年至 1940 年间瑞典癫痫知识的传播情况。在此期间,有关癫痫的医学研究不断增加,同时也带来了新的专业化程度和医学分支之间的区别。本文旨在研究有关癫痫的新医学知识对瑞典癫痫儿童的治疗和教育的影响。为了使这一目的具体化,本研究将重点放在 Margarethahemmet 收容所上。主要原始资料包括 Margarethahemmet 的年度报告和年鉴。1915-1938 年期间瑞典弱智者和癫痫患者护理总会的会议记录被用作补充材料。为了追溯医学发现对 Margarethahemmet 工作的影响,还使用了当代的科学文章,其中大部分来自德国。文章展示了国际和国内如何寻求新的研究和新的知识,以便为精神病院的医生和特殊教师提供有关癫痫儿童教育、护理和治疗的正确知识。对这种疾病的进一步了解直接影响了被污名化的群体--癫痫患者--与其他人一样积极参与社会的能力。
