Abstract
AbstractThe neuropsychiatrist Alfred Fuchs was born on 2 August 1870 in Karolinenthal near Prague (now Karlín, Czech Republic). Of Jewish ancestry, he was the only son of Rosa (née Kornfeld, 1843–1906) and Albert Fuchs (1825–1899), a district doctor in Prague, and had three sisters, Frieda, Elsa, and Mitzi. He attended medical school in Prague and Vienna, and he earned his M.D. degree in 1894 from the University of Vienna. After 2 years of hospital service in internal medicine under Rudolf von Jaksch (1855–1947) in Prague and Hermann Nothnagel in Vienna, he took a position as a secondary physician at the Nervensanatorium Purkersdorf in Vienna’s Umgebung district. Within a few years, he published his first book, on the therapy of abnormal sexual life in men with special consideration of suggestion, which was prefaced by Richard von Krafft-Ebing.KeywordsCerebrospinal fluidFuchs–Rosenthal hemacytometerHead injuriesJewish physiciansPituitary tumorsPsychopathia sexualisPsychosesPupil size
