Hermann Carl Albert Gutzmann, Sr. (29 January 1865 – 4 November 1922) was a German physician. He is considered the founder of phoniatrics as a medical discipline.[2][3]
Early life and education
[edit]Hermann Gutzmann was born into a Jewish family in Bütow, Pomerania, in 1865.[2] His father, Albert Gutzmann, was a prominent teacher for the deaf and dumb.[4]
He graduated from the Friedrichswerdersches Gymnasium in 1883, and went on to study medicine in Berlin under Ernst von Bergmann, Carl Gerhardt, and others.[5] He received the degree of Doctor of Medicine from the University of Berlin in 1887, with the dissertation Über das Stottern ("On Stuttering").[2]
Career
[edit]From 1889 Gutzmann practised as a specialist in diseases of the vocal organs, and, together with his father, he founded in 1890 the journal Medizinisch-pädagogische Monatsschrift für die gesamte Sprachheilkunde.[6] In 1891 he established an outpatient clinic for the speech-impaired in Berlin, which was moved to the Medizinische Poliklinik in 1907 and affiliated with the Charité Hospital in 1912. From 1896 Gutzmann also directed a private clinic and sanatorium for the speech-impaired in Zehlendorf.[1] He completed his habilitation in 1905 on the basis of his work Über die Atmungsstörungen beim Stottern ("On Respiratory Disorders and Stuttering"). In his inaugural lecture, he outlined the close relationship of speech therapy to other areas of medical practice.[6]
During World War I, Gutzmann ran a treatment centre for traumatized soldiers who had developed speech and voice disorders.[7]
Gutzmann published 13 books and over 300 scientific papers in his lifetime.[1] He was a member of the Prussian State Health Council, an honorary member of the Austrian Society for Experimental Phonetics, secretary of the Berlin Laryngological Society, and a member of various learned societies.[6]
He died of sepsis in November 1922 after suffering a stab wound from a gramophone needle.[2]
