Abstract (may include machine translation)

Previously, there was no science of psychopathology [in Hungary] [whereas] in the Western countries of Europe, mental pathology - in spite of the fact that for a long time it had been a step-child of medicine - had grown into a fully-developed, large, ramifying tree by the middle of this century, which, with its dense foliage, kept the mental patients who were enjoying rest under its shade free from the attacks and sufferings that prejudice, superstition, ignorance and malevolence had directed against them in the past centuries.².
