title: Johann Bernhard Aloys von Gudden (1824-1886): not only the King of Bavaria's psychiatrist.
abstract: The great achievements of Bernhard von Gudden in the field of biological psychiatry are overshadowed by his two-day treatment of the Bavarian 'fairy-tale' king Ludwig II, with whom he drowned in the Lake of Starnberg in 1886. Gudden was in fact a visionary psychiatrist who blended a strong interest in neurobiology with humanitarian principles. He was far more than just a consulting psychiatrist to the Bavarian royal family.
