Otto Juliusburger, M.D. | ||
Psychiatrist, penal reform campaigner and lifestyle reformer Juliusburger had close ties with the Institute and its head throughout many years of cooperation and shared interests: Together with Hirschfeld, he drew up expert reports on indictable sexual offences. Like Hirschfeld, he was a member of the "Scientific-humanitarian Committee" ("Wissenschaftlich-humanitäres Komitee") and of the "League for the Protection of Motherhood" ("Bund für Mutterschutz"). He was also a founding member of the Berlin "Psychoanalytical Association" and a committed campaigner in the "World League for Sexual Reform". Juliusburger worked as physician-in-chief in a Berlin mental hospital, a clinic for alcoholics. He was a firm teetotaller. His world view embraced a biological philosophy of nature. |
