Franz Kallmann


What a strange coincidence. (haha.) In the year 1952 the psychiatric diagnostic Bible DSM was also created. By this man! (he came up with the idea.)
And who was he? The half-Jew psychiatrist Franz Kallmann (1897-1965), one of eugenicist Ernst Rudin´s pupils. (another pupil was dr. Mengele.) Who fled to the USA in 1936. (after all, he was a Jew. Even though he was a firm believer in eugenics and racism.) Where he came to play a central role in psychiatry!
His speciality was? Twin studies! (as you may know the corner stone of schizophrenia research.) (a certain dr. Mengele loved twin studies too.)
