摘要
Before he became the initiator of the surrealist movement, Andre Breton (1896-1966) studied medicine and worked as a student in several hospitals and as a stretcher bearer at the front during World War I. There he became interested in psychiatric diseases such as hysteria and psychosis, which later served as a source of inspiration for his surrealist writings and thoughts, in particular on automatic writing. Breton worked under Joseph Babinski at La Pitie, nearby La Salpetriere, and became impressed by the %26apos;sacred fever%26apos; of the famous neurologist. In this article, we describe the relationship between Breton and Babinski and try to trace back whether not only Breton%26apos;s psychiatric, but also his neurological experiences, have influenced surrealism. We hypothesize that Breton left medicine in 1920 partly as a consequence of his stay with Babinski.
