| User | JWVonGoetheII | | Topic | In need of a name | | Message | I’m currently in the process of writing a novel and have not titled it yet. The story is of a young psychologist in Germany in the late 19th century who begins to make a theory on a mental disease (which would later be schizophrenia, though he does not discover it entirely).
Here is a more in depth description:
Peter Schingel graduates from the newly formed School of Psychology in Leipzig. He decides he will devote himself to the mentally ill and plans to study them while working at an asylum. Prior to this, however, he has an urge to return to his home in Bavaria. His father commits suicide by throwing himself in a river. Returning to Leipzig, Peter gets a job at the asylum consulting patients. Despite working in the city, Peter lives in the country and befriends a farmer who turns out to have schizophrenia (though he cannot determine it since the disease has not been discovered). At this point (which is the end of the first book), he must decide to keep the farmer as a friend or to take him to the asylum for help.
There is another book to this story but I haven’t exactly organized my thoughts on it. I do know that Peter will turn from psychology to philosophy so I might add in him meeting Nietzsche or another famous philosopher.
I will consider any suggestions. |

Naah, I’m not qualified for that kind of genre titles.

| User | Rokhal | 2006-09-08 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | That seems off . . . before they discovered schizophrenia, didn’t they just use the catch-all term "nuts"?
Unless Peter Schingel is grouping disease cases into a unified syndrome. But schizophrenia is pretty hard to miss. Until they started with the neurotransmitter-imbalance theories, they might as well have called it demon posession.
Forgive me if I underestimate you. |
