Abstract
Schroeder van der Kolk is regarded as the founder of Dutch psychiatry and neurology. This paper describes his vitalistic views on the relati on between body and soul, as formulated by him in a series of lectures . These lectures were intended to counteract the materialistic tendenc ies of some of Schroeder van der Kolk's French and German contemporari es. It is argued that Schroeder van der Kolk can be regarded as the tr ansition in Holland from the ''Naturphilosophie'' approach to the mode rn experimental approach in physiology.
