About Christian Friedrich Nasse

Christian Friedrich Nasse (18 April 1778 – 18 April 1851) was a German physician and psychiatrist born in Bielefeld.

He studied medicine at the University of Halle under physiologist Johann Christian Reil (1759–1813). At Halle, Achim von Arnim (1781–1831) and Friedrich von Raumer (1781–1873) were among his friends. Following graduation returned to Bielefeld as a general practitioner, later serving as director of a hospital for the poor. From 1819 until his death in 1851, he worked as a professor at the University of Bonn.

Nasse was a member of the somatic school of psychiatry that was popular during the first half of the 19th century in Germany. He believed that diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders depended on investigation of the somatic activity of a patient, formulating his belief system on the basis that physical disease produced a disturbance in the relationship between the psyche and the soma. He was interested in the works of Johann Friedrich Herbart (1776–1841), and skeptical of natural philosophers. Nasse is credited for introducing the practical experience of "bedside diagnosis" into the university lecture hall. Nasse died on his birthday, aged 73 in Marburg.

His name is associated with "Nasse's law", a dictum that states that hemophilia occurs only in males but is transmitted through females. Law formulated by Nasse in 1820.

Über Christian Friedrich Nasse (Deutsch)

Christian Friedrich Nasse (* 18. April 1778 in Bielefeld; † 18. April 1851 in Marburg) war ein deutscher Psychiater. Nach kurzer kaufmännischer Ausbildung begann er 1796 sein Medizinstudium in Halle (Saale). Nach seiner Promotion ließ er sich in Bielefeld als praktischer Arzt nieder. Später übernahm er die Leitung des dortigen Armenhauses. 1814 verließ er Bielefeld und wurde 1815 Professor der Inneren Medicin in Halle, bevor er 1819 einem Ruf an die Bonner Universität folgte, wo er bis zu seinem Tod lehrte.

Er gehörte zur ersten Professorengeneration der Bonner Universität und war der erste deutsche Vertreter der Vivisektion. 1818 gründete er die Zeitschrift für psychische Ärzte, die später unter dem Titel Jahrbücher für Anthropologie weiter erschienen. Er engagierte sich stark für eine Psychiatriereform und gilt als erster deutscher Kliniker, der die Diagnostik am Krankenbett ausgeübt und in die Vorlesungen eingebracht hat.

Sein Grab befindet sich auf dem Alten Friedhof in Bonn. Er war der Großvater des Historikers Carl von Noorden. Seine Söhne Karl Friedrich Werner Nasse und Otto Nasse wurden ebenfalls Mediziner.
