Friedrich Husemann
Friedrich Husemann (* June 13, 1887 in Blasheim/Lübbecke, Germany ; † June 8, 1959 in Wiesneck/Buchenbach, Germany) was a German anthroposophical physician and psychiatrist.
Life
Friedrich Husemann was the first son of a Lutheran country pastor. Originally he also wanted to study theology (his brother Gottfried did later), but then switched to medicine. While still a student, he met Rudolf Steiner 1909 in Geneva[1]; he completed his training as a specialist in psychiatry in 1920 in Bremen[1].
From 1921 - 1924, together with other pioneers, he was active at the Clinical Therapeutic Institute in Stuttgart, in whose patient meetings Rudolf Steiner regularly participated.[1]
At the beginning of the 20th century he developed a medical-therapeutic concept according to the guiding principle of anthroposophy. He divided it into the three areas
- body therapy by means of medicines and external applications,
- artistic therapy and
- psychotherapy.
