520 One hundred years before Freud's striking psychoanalytic
case-histories, the narrative psychological case-history
emerged in the second half of the eighteenth century in
Germany as an epistemic genre (Gianna Pomata) that cut
across the disciplines of medicine, philosophy, law,
psychology, anthropology and literature. It differed
significantly from its predecessors in theology,
jurisprudence, and medicine. Rather than subsuming the
individual under an established classification, moral
precept, category, or type, the narrative psychological
case-history endeavored to articulate the individual in
its very individuality, thereby constructing a 'self' in
its irreducible singularity. The presentation and analysis
of several significant psychological case-histories, their
theory and practice, as well as the controversies
surrounding their utility, validity, and function for an
envisioned 'science of the soul' constitutes the core of
the book. Close and 'distant' (F. Moretti) readings of key
texts and figures in the discussion regarding 'empirical
psychology' (psychologia empirica), experiential
psychology (Erfahrungsseelenkunde) and 'medical
psychology' (medizinische Psychologie) such as Christian
Wolff, J.C. Krüger, J.C. Bolton, Ernst Nicolai, J.A. Unzer
, J.G. Sulzer, J.G. Herder, Friedrich Schiller, Jacob
Friedrich Abel, Marcus Herz, Karl Philipp Moritz, J.C.
Reil, Ernst Platner and Immanuel Kant provide the
disciplinary, historical-scientific context within which
this genre comes to the fore. As the first systematic
argument concerning the early history of this genre, my
thesis is that the psychological case-history evolved as
part of a pastoral apparatus of care, concern, guidance
and direction for what it fashioned as the 'unique'
individual, as the discursive medium in a process by which
the soul became a 'self'. The narrative psychological case
-history was in fact a meta-genre that transcended
traditional boundaries of history and fiction, medicine
and philosophy, psychology and anthropology, and sought,
for the first time, to explicitly link the experience,
history, memory, fantasy, previous trauma or suffering of
a unique individual to illness, deviance, aberration and
crime. In a word, it demonstrated, as Freud later said of
his own case-histories in Studies on Hysteria, "the
intimate relation between the history of suffering and the
symptoms of illness" ("die innige Beziehung zwischen
Leidensgeschichte und Krankheitssymptome"). This genre not
only had a profound and far-reaching effect on the
evolution of German and European literature - one thinks
of the rich traditions of the Novella and the
Fallgeschichte from Goethe, Büchner, R.L Stevenson, Edgar
Allen Poe and Chekhov to Kafka and beyond - but in shaping
modern literature, the clinical sciences, and even popular
culture. The book should therefore be of interest not
merely to Germanists, modern European cultural historians,
historians of science, and literary historians, but also
those interested in the history of medicine and psychology,
the origins of psychoanalysis, the history of anthropology,
cultural studies, and, more generally, the history of
ideas
