William Bowman, Professor of History, published "Suicide and Steinhof (Vienna)" in Eberhard Gabriel and Martina Gamper, eds., Psychiatrische Institutionen in Oesterreich um 1900 (Verlagshaus der Aerzte, 2009): 73-79. The essay, which was based on a paper Bowman gave at an international conference in Vienna to mark the 100-year anniversary of Steinhof, a famous psychiatric institution, investigates medical, sociological, and psychological perspectives on the phenomenon of suicide and suicide prevention in Vienna from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century. It examines the ideas, among others, of figures such as Tomas Masaryk and Sigmund Freud.
