but ya know, i've seen his name implicated
in many articles on Transcultural Psychiatry.
During his time and Victorian times, anthropological expeditions to exotic lands and comparisons of natives to Europeans, were 'exploration science'-- equivalent to our trips to the moon. Darwin and Havelock Ellis come to mind. But I am not so sure that Kraepelin is not more like the Critical Psychiatry School describes him-- the father of clinical, scientific psychiatry, against the alienists, against Freud, against anything non-medical in psychiatry, rather than a serious investigator of anthropology.Then again I have not examined his bibliography very well - it's all in German (dang)!
But he may have been interested in this Amazonian sport, on a day like today:-).
