Spa culture and the social history of medicine in Germany.

The spa in nineteenth century European society was a place of intersections: of social class and of ideas, of social and of scientific concepts. As the social showcase for 'polite' society, it embodied many of the desires and dreams of the increasingly fashionable middle-class world. As a place prominent in the medical world of its day, the heath spa contributed to the ongoing dialogue of the emergent science of medicine, where both mainstream and voices of medical dissent were to be heard. Thus, in the enclosed and limited space of a thermal health spa lie encapsulated significant historical trends and social dialogues.

520 $a The spa in nineteenth century European society was a place of intersections: of social class and of ideas, of social and of scientific concepts. As the social showcase for 'polite' society, it embodied many of the desires and dreams of the increasingly fashionable middle-class world. As a place prominent in the medical world of its day, the heath spa contributed to the ongoing dialogue of the emergent science of medicine, where both mainstream and voices of medical dissent were to be heard. Thus, in the enclosed and limited space of a thermal health spa lie encapsulated significant historical trends and social dialogues.
520 $a Over the course of the long nineteenth century, 1805--1914, the doctor-patient relationship shifted from one in which the patient was the primary decision maker to one dominated by the "order-giving" professional physician over the "compliant" patient. Distinctive from their other European or American counterparts, German physicians completed this process in close conjunction with the state. While research to date into this growth of a more or less authoritarian German medicine has been physician-centered research, little work has been done on the interaction of physicians and their mostly middle class patients. Yet this process could not have occurred without a significant change in the attitude of the patients themselves. The spa, a place containing diverse and competing strands of medical thought and a wide range of middle-class patients, offers a unique research opportunity for a focused social history of German medicine.
520 $a The purpose of this study is to examine the interrelationship between physicians and patients within the limited space of the health spa. While these resorts are an interesting subject for historical research in their own right, the significance of my investigation reaches beyond the world of the spa, or indeed of medicine. As the German professions, physicians included, turned from liberalism and toward authoritarianism in the later nineteenth century, a process which contributed to much darker chapters of history in the twentieth century, understanding the origins of this process in the context of a broader social history seems a relevant pursuit indeed.
