“…53 (Berrios, 2003). The manuscript that served as the basis for this translation had initially been published in the first issue of the 1897 volume of Archiv für Psychiatrie und Nervenkrankheiten which was officially released in November 1896 (Donath, 1897). Donáth’s paper is important for having brought the term ‘anancasm’ to the international psychiatric literature.…”

“…Despite his admission that he had been ‘unable to ascertain whether the author of this paper is the same Julius Donath (1870–1950) who graduated MD in Vienna in 1895’, he presented biographical information on the Austrian Julius Donath and referred to further studies by this author, which featured a striking number of psychiatric and neurological pieces (Berrios, 2003). This reference to an author based solely in Vienna is particularly curious in view of the fact that the German version of the publication clearly identifies Julius Donath as a ‘university teacher in Budapest’ and the article as being based on and adapted from a ‘presentation given at the Royal Society of Medical Professionals in Budapest on 23 November 1895’ (Donath, 1897). In fact, Donáth’s talk given there had already been published as a separate booklet in Hungarian in 1896 (Donáth, 1896), yet the existence of this original publication has been little known until today.…”

There is considerable confusion in the field of research on the history of psychiatry as to who created the term anancasm. This article seeks to clarify that the term was coined by the Hungarian psychiatrist Gyula Donáth, who was born in Baja, on the Danube, and worked mainly in Budapest. Donáth's publications reveal that his predominant sphere of interest and research was neurology and psychiatry. A number of his publications deal with epilepsy and obsessive-compulsive disorders. After a period of intensive research, during which he spent some time in Berlin at the clinic of neuroscientist Carl Westphal, Donáth proposed the term 'anancasm' in 1895 to describe compulsive mental processes.

“…Ähnliche Ansichten vertrat der Budapester Psychiater Julius (Gyula) Donáth (1849 -1944), der u. a. die Echolalie, Koprolalie, Georges Gilles de la Tourettes (1857 -1904) Maladie des tics sowie sogar die Dipsomanie ("Trunksucht"), geschlechtliche Perversitäten, Fetischismen und Homosexualität zu den Zwangsphänomenen zählte. Für die "psychischen Zwangszustände" empfahl er die Bezeichnung "Anancasmus" einzuführen, um den Charakter dieser Phänomene, nämlich ihr Auftauchen mit "zwingender Gewalt", hervorzuheben ( [30], S. 213 -214; [31]). Oswald Bumke (1877 -1950), u. a. Leipziger und Münchener Lehrstuhlinhaber, führte 1906 die Ausdehnung des Zwangsbegriffs auf den Einfluss der französischen Psychiatrie zurück, die "vielmehr den pathologischen Zwang überhaupt als den bewußten, vom Kranken empfundenen Zwang" als Charakteristikum der "obsessions" ansah ([6] S. 8 -9).…”

Influenced by French psychiatry, the first German works on obsessive-compulsive phenomena were published in the second half of the 19th century. First they were seen as one form of the unitary psychosis, later they became involved in the dispute about the concept of paranoia. The first German definition, proposed by Carl Westphal in 1877 and of crucial importance in the conceptual history of obsessive disorders as an illness (OCD) ever since, stood in this tradition. Still the adequate nosological classification of obsessive phenomena was still heavily disputed. As more and more varied forms of obsessive disorders were described, the highly unspecific concept of neurasthenia gained importance. Then degeneration theory was a widespread aetiological concept to integrate the large number of obsessive phenomena. Towards the end of the 19th century, when psychoanalysis emerged, psychological aspects started to interest psychiatrists and psychoanalytical suggestions like Sigmund Freud's concept of obsessional neurosis were discussed. However, none of these different nosological suggestions, nor any of the proposed definitions, found general approval. Above all the question to what extent affects were involved and whether certain phenomena were compulsive in nature or not remained the subject of (ongoing) controversy. This led to a variety of highly inconsistent aetiopathogenetic concepts being proposed.

“…Enfin, la théorie psychanalytique de la névrose obsessionnelle culminera dans la publication des deux cas du Rattmann et du Wolfmann. La théorie freudienne a rapidement été diffusée dans la psychiatrie germanophone par Donath [6] et Warda [36], respectivement en 1896 et en 1901.…”
