[The origin and development of Polish phoniatrics. (Part II. Jan Siestrzynski].
The life, professional career and scientific achievements of Jan Siestrzyński (1788-1824), the first Polish phoniatrist are presented. His medical education in Vienna and his first work at hospital in Vienna are emphasized. His meeting with Jakób Falkowski is also described. Siestrzyński's efforts and activities in formation of the Institute for the Deaf in Warsaw are depicted. In 1815 Siestrzyński started his work with deaf children in Vienna using his own phonetic method instead of the mimic method in their rehabilitation. Introducing the professional teaching of litography for the deaf children, Siestrzyński created the foundations for the development of modern professional and social rehabilitation for the handicapped. He was a teacher at the Institut for the Deaf since 1817. The features of Siestrzyński's personality are strongly pointed out. The conflict between Falkowski and Siestrzyński is emphasized. The result was that Siestrzyński left the Institut for the Deaf in Warsaw in 1821.
