  Abstract

This paper examines the reception accorded to refugee psychiatrists in the United Kingdom. It evaluates the value placed on their qualifications and skills, as well as their influence. In addition, the paper traces the extent to which Jewish refugee psychiatrists were not made welcome by the British scientific elite. This prejudice was all too widespread in a profession claiming to have insight into human behaviour.

Keywords: psychiatry; refugees; psychoanalysis; Maudsley Hospital; anti-Semitism; Emil Kraepelin
