Abstract

Berthold Kihn (1895–1964) was a German psychiatrist. This article describes his life and works with respect to his contributions to the treatment of epilepsy, for which he invented and broadly used his own pharmaceutical treatment, Kihn’s powder. Particular attention is paid to an overt discrepancy in Kihnʼs actions when comparing his later and earlier career years, when he was a National Socialism ideologist and not only an advocate of sterilization and so-called euthanasia but also an active protagonist during the Nazi regime.
