In recent decades, developments in research technologies and therapeutic advances have generated immense public recognition for neuroscience. However, its origins as a field, often linked to partnerships and projects at various brain-focused research centres in the United States during the 1960s, can be traced much further back in time. In A New Field in Mind Frank Stahnisch documents and analyzes the antecedents of the modern neurosciences as an interdisciplinary field. Although postwar American research centres, such as Francis O. Schmitt's Neuroscience Research Program at MIT, brought the modern field to prominence, Stahnisch reveals the pioneering collaborations in the early brain sciences at centres in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in the first half of the twentieth century. One of these, Heinrich Obersteiner's institute in Vienna, began its work in the 1880s. Through case studies and collective biographies, Stahnisch investigates the evolving relationships between disciplines – anatomy, neurology, psychiatry, physiology, serology, and neurosurgery – which created new epistemological and social contexts for brain research. He also shows how changing political conditions in Central Europe affected the development of the neurosciences, ultimately leading to the expulsion of many physicians and researchers under the Nazi regime and their migration to North America. An in-depth and innovative study, A New Field in Mind tracks the emergence and evolution of neuroscientific research from the late nineteenth century to the postwar period.

Der Aufbau des Organismus ist das Hauptwerk des deutsch-amerikanischen Neurologen und Psychiaters Kurt Goldstein (1878-1965). Erstmals seit 1934 erscheint es nun in einer neuen deutschsprachigen Ausgabe.Im Spannungsfeld von Neurologie, Psychologie und Philosophie entwarf Kurt Goldstein im niederländischen Exil eine ganzheitliche Theorie des Aufbaus und der Funktion des menschlichen Organismus, die eine völlig neue Sicht auf die menschliche Psyche und die Funktionsweise des Gehirns ermöglichte.Sein Werk zählt nicht nur zu den Klassikern der modernen Neuropsychologie, sondern prägte auch so unterschiedliche Strömungen wie die Phänomenologie in Frankreich (Merleau- Ponty), die humanistische Psychologie in den USA (Maslow, Rogers) und die Kulturhistorische Schule der russischen Psychologie (Wygotski, Luria, Leontjew).In der Nachkriegszeit in Deutschland weitgehend verdrängt und vergessen, wartete dieses Buch lange auf seine Wiederentdeckung.Angesichts der aktuellen Diskussion des Leib-Seele-Problems in den Neurowissenschaften und der Philosophie ist Goldsteins Werk heute wieder hochaktuell.
