Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Researchers with good German reading ability interested in social history and public health history
- Students working on topics in the history of alcohol consumption or student life
- Readers interested in late nineteenth-century German-language literature on social issues
Not a good fit for
- Readers with no German at all who are unwilling to use reference tools
- Readers seeking only contemporary abstinence methods and medical advice
- Specialist readers expecting systematic statistical data and empirical research
Reading tips
- Read the opening and conclusion first to grasp the author's argumentative framework, then return to the examples in the middle.
- Keep a German-Chinese dictionary or a parallel translation at hand; mark outdated expressions first and deal with them together afterward.
- Understand the book's views within the social context of the early twentieth century rather than applying them directly to the present.

About the author
Leopold Loewenfeld (1847–1924) was a German psychiatrist. Public information about him is limited; what can be confirmed is that his representative work is titled Student und Alkohol, which addresses the subject of students and alcohol and belongs to observational writing on social psychiatry and addiction. The existing profile notes that his research also covered neuroses, hypnosis, and psychotherapy, indicating a sustained interest in mental disorders and psychological interventions. His writing deals with specific groups and practical problems, with a style that favors clinical observation and problem analysis rather than abstract theorizing. These works offer a reference for understanding how German-speaking scholarship from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century viewed alcohol abuse, neuroses, and hypnotic treatment, and they reflect the era's tendency for psychiatry to extend into psychotherapy.
