150 Years of Psychiatry at Göttingen University
This volume focuses on the special historical moments of the third oldest University Psychiatry in Germany, which has been existing in Göttingen since 1866. Ludwig Meyer, appointed to Göttingen in 1866, was the third professor ordinarius for Psychiatry in Germany and the first person to have a finished Hospital. The contributors in this volume show a great insight in the history of the University Psychiatry in Göttingen from its beginnings, to its enlargement and crisis during the Third Reich unto recent developments of the last decades.

Hans Jürgen Syberberg and His Film of Wagner's Parsifal
While much has been published abroad about the German filmmaker and author Hans Jürgen Syberberg, this is the first English monograph about him. Author Solveig Olsen presents a biographical overview of the controversial artist and his body of work, and offers an in-depth analysis of Syberberg's film of Richard Wagner's Parsifal and his later works. Syberberg gained international fame as a filmmaker with the films of his "German Cycle," which included Our Hitler, a study of the Hitler potential in human nature. Parsifal of 1982 concluded the German Cycle. Preserving Wagner's libretto and score, the film uses the visual component to imbue the work with a surprising interpretation. In addition to the medieval story about the Grail seeker, the director draws on several other frames of reference, such as the theories of Freud and Jung, alchemy, and Syberberg's main aesthetic views and philosophy that have gone unrecognized until now. Olsen explores the role of Parsifal as Wagner's artistic and philosophical testament, and the implications of Syberberg's reinterpretation.
