Sažetak
Ivo Žirovčić, as a pioneer of psychiatric clinic and forensics at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, paved the way for more contemporary positions and structure of the profession that was in its beginnings in our country. In this regard we can see him as the founder of psychiatry as a clinical profession in which he advocated for a clearer classification and terminology, but also for the position of psychiatry as being biologically determined within the medical body of work. His work as the head of our first psychiatric hospital discloses the formation of the concept of mental disorder as a civilisational construct woven from a tangle of administrative, medical, social, semantic, legal and other elements. Thus it is the key to understanding the formation of civil society in these parts with all the aspects of tolerance, ethics and doubts that arise from them.
