Dear Sighola2! I've got a scan of one of the ordered books. But neither I have your eMail address, nor wikimail is enabled in your wiki preferences. How can I send the scan to you. Greetings, Doc Taxon ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doc Taxon (talkcontribs) 17:44, 12 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Doc Taxon, thanks very much for this! Sorry about email problem. I saw on English WP resource requests] that PDFs are being made available via DropBox (has a german language option), would you be ok to do that? If not I'll add an email address to my account, but could you let me know the file size for that. Best wishes, Sighola2 (talk) 05:10, 13 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
okay, download this: [1]
but please let me know about the successful download, that I can make the account free for web space again. Thank you very much, -- Doc Taxon (talk) 05:58, 13 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
I have it downloaded ok - thank you very much again. I can't see where he does coin the term 'soziopath' in there, the nearest I see is 'antisoziale', so I'll have to see what's in the other one. Are you having to scan these in yourself btw? Best regards, Sighola2 (talk) 12:38, 13 September 2013 (UTC)Reply


Notes:

I see his name is spelled Carl in this - not sure which is most correct in German or English

The citation given by Millon et al. (1998/2002) is in fact "Birnbaum, K (1909) Die psychopathischen verbrecker. Leipzig: Thieme." Others give the 2nd edition in 1914.

It seems that Scholarpedia has a misleading double in-line citation where in the references there is only "Birnbaum, C. (1909). Uber Psychopathische Personlichkeiten. Eine psychopathologische Studie. Grenzfragen des Nerven - und Seelenlebrens. Wiesbaden" - which is the one Doc Taxon has now provided - which does NOT appear to use the term. Sighola2 (talk) 12:38, 13 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Some of those "Karls" spelled with "K" were written with "C" in some German and English publications of these years. But the fact is, that Karl Birnbaum is spelled by "K" since his birth. I don't know the reason of the wrong spelling of those names with "C". The other publication is coming soon, please wait some days. -- Doc Taxon (talk) 13:38, 13 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Interesting...curiously I just stumbled across an article by Birnbaum's great grandson (apparently a student at Yale in 2007) about his copy of Karl Birnbaum: Leben und Werk (a 1982 dissertation by a German medical student who contacted him), which he says includes a photocopy of his "American naturalization certificate, made out to Carl (not Karl) Birnbaum, his “complete and true signature” looking strangely like my father’s"! It also appears that Karl Birnbaum had a developmentally disabled son which might help explain his relatively progressive views on psychopathy, though not sure how old he was at the time.[2] Sighola2 (talk) 05:54, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

I will get the second book on Tuesday ... -- Doc Taxon (talk) 07:48, 21 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for letting me know, and thanks again for doing this. Sighola2 (talk) 07:55, 21 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Download this, and you have got the second book. Regards, -- Doc Taxon (talk) 13:47, 25 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thank you again, excellent quality scan again. I've downloaded it so you can clear it from your fileshare. I will thank you elsewhere also in due course.
In the meantime I'll just leave a note here: so this the 1926 edition of Die psychopathischen verbrecher. I've OCR'd the PDF into searchable text and it doesn't seem to use the term 'soziopath' either. He says soziologische a lot, and antisoziale, and e.g. 'psychopathischer Unsozíalit', but not soziopath* as far as I can see. So either he used the term in an earlier edition of Die psychopathiscene verbrecher but then stopped, or he did not coin the term. I will try to check. Sighola2 (talk) 18:51, 26 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

okay, I will check the 1914 edition for "Soziopath". -- Doc Taxon (talk) 12:49, 27 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

That's kind of you to offer. I didn't necessarily want you to use more of your time over this, but I wanted to leave a note summarising things so far. For the record, the main citation seems to be to the 1909 version of Die psychopathischen verbrecher (which Scholarpedia confusingly appears to cite to the other 1909 book you obtained). That in turn seems to mainly come from this bit of this book by Millon et al. However their quote is actually "sociopath" - so it can't be a literal quote anyway as it's English not German spelling! Anyway, I am attempting to clarify off-Wiki. If you do want to check the 1909 or 1914 editions, by all means that would help, but perhaps it won't be necessary, I'm not sure. Sighola2 (talk) 15:24, 27 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
no, I have no problem with that, to find it out for you. In the 1914 edition of Die psychopathischen Verbrecher I couldn't find "Soziopath", too. But I couldn't find any earlier edition than 1914. But I try to check other 1909 books or articles by Birnbaum. -- Doc Taxon (talk) 16:06, 1 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Great. I have it on good authority that Birnbaum did use the phrase "soziopathischer Verbrecher" (but don't know if he invented the term). Sighola2 (talk) 06:47, 9 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:DSM-5 Cover.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Replaceable fair use File:Michael L. Perlin.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Michael L. Perlin.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 14:48, 11 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
