  Paul Emil Flechsig (www.whonamedit.com)
Paul Emil Flechsig was the son of Emil Flechsig, deacon (Pastor) of the Protestant church of St. Mary in Zwickau.
Although Flechsig contributed to the clinical and pathological study of hysteria, epilepsy, neurosyphilis, and chorea, his fame is due mainly to his technique of myelogenesis for the examination of the brain.
Flechsig led the establishment of the new university lunatic asylum at Leipzig, the Irrenklinik.

 Random House : Book extract from Fugitive Minds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
In March 1903, Professor Paul Flechsig received a bulky package from a former patient of his psychiatric clinic at the University of Leipzig in Germany.
Born in 1842, Daniel Paul Schreber was the son of a well-known physician whose child-rearing manuals urged a regime designed to produce healthy and obedient children through exercise and discipline.
In his case, the nerve-language was controlled from without: Flechsig had succeeded in 'imprisoning his will-power, such as occurs during hypnosis', and was responsible for the 'unholy turmoil' in his head.

 The SocioWeb: Sociology Books » Memoirs of My Nervous Illness (New York Review Books Classics)
Instead of describing the book,I'll quote from the jacket flap: "Daniel Paul Schreber (1842-1911), an eminent German judge, went mad at the age of 42, recovered, and eight and a half years later, went mad again.
Psychiatrists consider the case of the former, Daniel Paul, as the classic model of paranoia and schizophrenia, but even Freud and Bleuler (in their analyses of the son's illness) failed to link the strange experiences of Daniel Paul, for which he was thought mad, to his father's totalitarian child-rearing practices.
This is done through a detailed analysis and comparison of Daniel Paul's "Memoirs of My Nervous Illness," a diary written during his second, long confinement, with his father's published and widely read writings on child rearing.

My book is an attempt at recreating Paul Schreber, a life, with particular emphasis of illuminating the circumstances and meanings of Paul Schreber's second illness, the heart and soul of his Memoirs.
Knowing the rules by which the system operated, the philosophies of Flechsig and Weber as explained in their writings, one can understand how it happened that Schreber was held against his will in the asylum beyond the point of recovery from his melancholia.
Moreover, Schreber was also mistreated, his so-called delusion of soul murder was a correct description of the soul-killing practices of the psychiatrists and attendants who treated him in the various institutions.

He came under the supervision of Dr Paul Emil Flechsig in Leipzig: Schreber's parents approved of Flechsig, because Schreber's father was a doctor and an educationalist of the same social standing.
Daniel was first 'looked after' by Flechsig and then was moved and spent nine years in a loony bin in Saxony, where he wrote his memoirs, published in 1903.
The problem was that Flechsig, the mad doctor, was interrupting these transmissions.

 Leitungsbahnen im Gehirn und Rückenmark des Menschen auf Grund entwickelungsgeschichtlicher Untersuchengen - FLECHSIG, ...
Though appointed professor of psychiatry at Leipzig in 1878 (he was Schreber's first psychiatrist, for a thorough discussion of which see Lothane's _In Defense of Schreber_), Flechsig devoted most of his life to studying nerve fiber myelogenesis, which he discovered.
"From his work on the pyramidal tract, which he traced from the pre- and postcentral regions, Flechsig concluded that complete function of the corticospinal tract occurred only after myelination was completed.
His studies of myelogenesis, beautifully illustrated in his works, are one of the milestones in modern neurology" [McHenry, pp 174-176].

Schreber was at first admitted to Flechsig's psychiatric hospital as a voluntary patient, but eventually placed under tutelage, so that his stay became involuntary.
According to Niederland, Schreber senior had applied to his son Daniel Paul the various infernal devices he had invented for correcting unwanted postures and behaviors in children; given one of Schreber's delusions, Niederland would typically read it as a distorted representation of one or more of these machines.
His first psychiatrist, Paul Flechsig, had a purely mechanistic, organic conception of psychiatry-in fact, he was the local standard bearer for this new approach, so different from the old moral approach still espoused by Schreber senior.

Based on a true story, it depicts the life of German judge Daniel Paul Schreber, who becomes insane and is subsequently committed to an asylum in Leipzig, Germany.
Emil Paul Flechsig is ordered to oversee the care of Schreber, and in doing so, asks him to keep a journal (which becomes his memoirs) documenting his path to recovery.
While under Dr. Flechsig’s care, Schreber’s psychological problems worsen and he transforms himself into a woman.

 Neural Development   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Huttenlocher estimated that approximately 42% of all synapses are eliminated from human cortex.
In the early 1920s Paul Flechsig noticed that myelination of the cortex begins just after birth and continues until nearly 18 years of age.
It does not progress at a constant rate throughout the brain - some areas are fully myelinated earlier.

 Notes (p. 246) -- Freud’s Christian Unconscious
For good recent treatments of the great importance of childhood abuse for the development of later psychopathology, see, as examples, Finkelhor (1979); Herman (1981); Miller (1983, 1984).
That is, the homosexual relationship was between two “brother”-figures, Schreber and a Dr. Flechsig; the only “father”-figure in the case was God, who was viewed as castrating, not as a homosexual seducer.
One can assume in this case that Freud identified with Schreber in his Flechsig relationship, on a pattern set up in Freud’s early relationship to John and later shown in Freud’s relationships with Fleischl, with Fliess (i.e., Flechsig), and also probably with Jung (i.e., John).

 Pain of circumcision, pain control
Before the late nineteenth century, medical doctors understood that infants feel pain.
Then, in 1872, Paul Emil Flechsig advanced the idea that infants could not feel pain because "their nerves are not completely myelinated."
Incredibly, this idea caught on, and all sorts of operations---including open heart surgery---were carried out on infants without anesthesia for many years.
