Abstract

With the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Prof. Miroslav Suvin we recall a period of exciting and important development of dental medicine in Croatia. Miroslav Suvin was born in Zagreb on 30th May 1899. He finished primary and middle school in Zagreb and the study of general medicine at the School of Medicine University of Vienna in 1923. After completing obligatory medical practice in Zagreb hospitals, mainly in the Endowment Hospital (Zakladna Bolnica), he completed one year of specialisation in neurology and psychiatry in the University Clinic in Vienna. He was particularly interested in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. Thus, his first scientific papers were on those themes and were published in "Störungen des Trieb - Affektlebens", Band 6 (Urban and Schwarzenberg, Vienna, 1927). As M. Suvin concluded that extremist attitudes were prevalent in psychoanalysis, with which he did not agree, he discontinued specialisation in neurology and psychiatry and began specialisation in dental medicine, also in Vienna.
