“…It was not until the 1920s that systematic research was conducted. Forerunners were Preobrazhensky (biographical data unknown) and Leonid Anciferov (1891–1934), who became the chief physician of the psychiatric hospital in Tashkent in 1921 (Latypov, 2012; Turaeva & Engmann, 2014).…”

“…It was not until the 1920s that systematic research was conducted. Forerunners were Preobrazhensky (biographical data unknown) and Leonid Anciferov , who became the chief physician of the psychiatric hospital in Tashkent in 1921 (Latypov, 2012;Turaeva & Engmann, 2014). Three decades earlier, however, the physician Aleksandr L'vovich (Solomon Judovich) Shvarc (born 1872), who worked in Tashkent (Turkestan, today Uzbekistan) early in his career, had published a multi-part report about his work in the outpatient clinic for men in Tashkent city from 1886 to 1897.…”

This article analyses 19th-century publications which dealt with the social and cultural aspects of psychiatric disorders in different parts of the world. Systematic reviews were conducted of three German medical journals, one Russian medical journal, and a relevant monograph. All these archives were published in the 19th century. Our work highlights the fact that long before Kraepelin, several, mostly forgotten, publications had already discussed cultural aspects, social conditions, the influence of religion, the influence of climate, and also "race" as a trigger or amplifier of psychiatric diseases. These publications also reflect racist notions of the colonial period.

“…Mit der Besserung der Arbeits-und Lebensbedingungen, so hieß es, fielen nun viele exogene Faktoren wie Arbeitslosigkeit oder Drogenkonsum weg [29]. Belegt ist der am ehesten politisch motivierte Rückgang an Publikationen über Narkomanie (die Drogensucht) in den 1930er und 1940er Jahren in der Sowjetunion [61]. Die prominente Bedeutung der Exogenität spiegelte sich noch in späterer Zeit in der Klassifikation psychischer Störungen wider und ließ sich noch bis mindestens in die 1980er Jahre nachweisen [60].…”

In Russia, German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926) is regarded as an influential and famous personality in the history of the field. This study discusses whether it was his period in the Russian Empire in the years 1886 to 1891 when he worked at Dorpat University (today Tartu, Estonia) that raised his popularity in Russia. Our research shows that all of his writings which had been translated into Russian language derive from a period much later than Dorpat. Moreover, none of his students has ever reached a scientific position which would have enabled him to become a proponent of Kraepelin's ideas in Russia. Despite his stay at Dorpat was important for Kraepelin's scientific development, it had no major impact on Russian psychiatry.The later perception of Kraepelin in Russia and in the Soviet Union is quite inconsistent. At some point of time, his works on experimental psychology were appreciated, which was probably connected with the rise of reflexology in Russian and, especially, Soviet psychiatry. On the other hand, it was Kraepelin's merits in the classification of psychiatric diseases that have mainly been acknowledged.

Purpose This study aims to report on the findings of a pilot study of the prevalence and treatment of infectious diseases among people who inject drugs in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Design/methodology/approach This study reports on study results based on two data collection methods: quantitative surveys and complimentary qualitative interviews. Findings The findings show that the role of social work in the region is crucial for establishing trust between non-governmental and civil society organizations and the state as exemplified by so-called “trust points” and “friendly cabinets.” Originality/value Firstly, this study provides an overview of injecting drug use and the prevalence statistics on infectious diseases. Following this, this study focuses on the treatment and prevention of the spread of HIV/AIDS and HCV. Both areas are under-researched and address the gap in the literature on drug policy in Central Asia.
