Abstract
Articles on psychiatric care in the GDR published in the journal "Deine Gesundheit" are identified. This involved examining how psychiatry was presented to the public and the intentions of addressing a lay audience. All booklets published between 1955 and 1989 were systematically reviewed, the role of the publishers examined, and an assessment made in the context of social psychiatry and sociopolitical conditions. There was a lively publication activity of psychiatric topics by mainly professional actors. The temporal accumulation in the context of psychiatric reform efforts is striking. Reform-oriented psychiatrists in particular used the popular science medium to reach a broad public and thus greater social acceptance of community psychiatric care concepts.
