    AbstractThe move towards disciplinary independence in Germany turned out to be more troublesome than in France or Great Britain and real institutional independence was not established at German universities until the 1970s of the 20th century, and this in the Federal Republic of Germany only. In East Germany (German Democratic Republic--GDR), a division into Chairs of Psychiatry and Neurology took place at individual universities and medical colleges only. Nevertheless, in exceptional circumstances, neurology did gain academic autonomy in the GDR. One such exception was the University of Rostock, where as early as 1958, the Chair of Psychiatry had been divided into three independent Chairs of Psychiatry, Neurology and Child Psychiatry. Besides internal scientific factors, socio-political constraints played a particular role here and had an influence on the disciplinary differentiation.(c)Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart-New York.
