Abstract
Maurycy Urstein was one of the few Polish physicians of the interwar period to enter into a dialogue with leading psychiatrists of his era. Among the richness of his scientific activity, two threads deserve particular attention: his studies on catatonia, thanks to which he gained the prestige of a scientist-clinician; as well as his forensic and psychological studies, which granted him media fame or, in modern terms, the status of a celebrity. Urstein published key works on psychiatry in German, and Polish translations appeared later. In the case of the monograph devoted to Eligiusz Niewiadomski, the language of the publication was Polish, which meant that it was basically not present in global scientific circulation.
