[Healing of a mental patient in the late Middle Ages. Community therapy by Hildegard of Bingen].

An account is given of the case history of a woman afflicted with mental disease and its course of healing, as described in the works of St. Hildegard of Bingen. The therapy may be considered as an early attempt of "team work" in health care. For better understanding of this rather casuistic contribution to the medicine of the High Middle Ages some principles of mediaeval medicine are explained. The key figure of "melancolia" is thereby given a position of central importance for the understanding of psychic disturbances in the Middle Ages.

[Skin as a universal organ as reflected throughout history].

In ancient medicine the skin was regarded as an organ in and of itself, as "soma organikon," and even as the largest organ of all. Keeping in mind the historical background, we examine: 1. skin as reflected by speech and proverbs; 2. skin as a world of its own, concerned with feeling, grasping, comprehension; 3. skin, according to tradition, as an organ reflecting almost every pathological and regenerative process. The paper is presented in the form of an essay and a historical survey is given; there is no intent to provide information on systematic or specific problems of dermatology.
