Doctor Justinus Kerner and the Seeress of Prevorst: A case of “psychotherapy” in the first half of the 19th century ABSTRACT Key words This paper aims to analyze the clinical practice carried out by Dr. Justinus Kerner (1786-1862) on the Psychoterapy, so-called Seeress of Prevorst (1801-1829). We consider it as an informal psychological practice within Kerner, a context of romantic medicine and spiritist ideas. In fact, it was an antecedent of later spiritism and spiritism, technologies of the Self it involved an implicit psychological system with its own definition of subjectivity.

  • Theodora's Prophetic Revelation
    David W. Wood Theodora’s Prophetic Revelation The Open Biographical Secrets of Rudolf Steiner’s Drama Characters, Part II The present text is a continuation of the research approach followed in our earlier article “The Course of Dr. Strader’s Life”. It seeks to uncover the identity of the real-life historical personality behind Rudolf Steiner’s drama character of the seeress Theodora.1 This character is in turn a metamorphosis of the figure of the Hawk in Goethe’s Fairy Tale. Both Theodora and the Hawk unite in themselves two events: they reflect the final glow of a past epoch before catching the first rays of a newly dawning day. Spiritual Realism Steiner’s very first idea for a theatre play in Munich in the summer of 1910 was not to perform a mystery drama of his own composition, but a dramatized version of Goethe’s Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and Beautiful Lily. However, the project ran into difficulties. The fairy tale images that were suitable for Goethe’s epoch had to be metamorphosed and rendered more realistic in Steiner’s time: “It did not work. One had to conceive it in a much more realistic manner. And out of this there arose the Portal of Initiation. It is obvious: during Goethe’s time the epoch had not yet arrived in which one could carry over what could be seized in fine fairy tale images into the real figures that are in the Portal of Initiation.”2 Steiner designated the art of this first drama as “spiritual realism”, because it sought to depict in an artistic manner real spiritual experiences: “It is carried out with a certain aesthetic feeling, everything in it is spiritual-realistic.

  • Il Caso Della Veggente Di Prevorst
    Francesco Lamendola Leggere con lo stomaco, vedere gli spiriti: il caso della veggente di Prevorst Uno dei libri del paranormale che ebbero più larga diffusione nel XIX secolo, affascinando migliaia di lettori e suscitando accese discussioni, fu Die Seherin von Prevorst del dottor Justinus A. C. Kerner, dedicato a un caso notevolissimo di facoltà chiaroveggenti e medianiche, da parte di un soggetto femminile altamente sensitivo. Fu un'opera che fece epoca, spingendo il pubblico delle persone colte a prendere posizione pro o contro la veridicità degli straordinari fenomeni in esso riferiti con abbondanza di particolari. Poi, dopo alcuni decenni di appassionati dibattiti, l'interesse per quel «caso» andò gradualmente smorzandosi e alcuni studiosi del paranormale, che inizialmente si erano mostrati possibilisti sulla serietà di esso, finirono per bollarlo come un gigantesca cantonata, e vi misero una pietra sopra. Ma chi era Justinus Kerner? Si trattava di un medico tedesco dalle idee piuttosto eterodosse, che passava per un eccentrico, forse anche per la sua passione di comporre canzoni e scrivere poesie. Simili attitudini non erano particolarmente apprezzate dalla maggior parte dei suoi sussiegosi colleghi; né la società tedesca dei primi decenni dell'Ottocento era l'ambiente più idoneo per apprezzare una visione spregiudicata della medicina, e in genere della scienza, com'era la sua. Possiamo bene immaginare che la pedanteria professorale doveva essere la regola, piuttosto che l'eccezione; e che uomini di scienza liberi da pregiudizi accademici, come lo era Kerner, costituivano delle vere e proprie mosche bianche. Nel 1826, Kerner aveva quarant'anni ed esercitava a professione medica a Weisberg, nei pressi di Heilbronn, circa a metà strada fra Heidelberg e Stoccarda.
