Story of the object
Psychiatry ledger containing files of observation of the patients admitted in Golia Hospice and Pschiatric Hospital „Socola” from Iași in 1904-1907.

The University Hospital of Psychiatry "Socola" was built between 1887-1889 on the site of the old Theology Seminary in Socola (about which Ion Creanga wrote in "Childhood Memories"). The hospital was placed on the Bucium hill, next to the Socola Monastery, founded by Alexandru Lăpușneanu.

In 1905, the "Socola" hospital was opened as a result of Dr. Alexandru Brăescu's efforts to build a modern psychiatric hospital and to provide psychiatric education at the Faculty of Medicine in Iasi.

The scientific development of the Socola School is initiated since 1912 by Professor Constantin Ion Parhon, being based on the analytical research of somato-psychic activity in normal and pathological conditions and affirmed by the Society of Neurology, Psychiatry, Psychology and Endocrinology created in 1918. .

Next, Professor Leon Ballif contributed to the development of the prestige of the “Socola” School by the pathophysiological orientation of the research activity and the promotion of mental hygiene in Romania.

Professor Petre Brânzei and his students substantiate and promote the three-dimensional bio-psycho-social concept of psychic process in the traditional spirit of the scientific and humanistic orientation of Romanian psychology and the Socola School of Psychiatry, an orientation further developed by professors Constantin Romanescu, Tadeusz Pirozyn , Mihai Șelaru, Petru Boișteanu and Gheorghe Scripcaru (in the field of expert psychiatry). The bio-psycho-social concept imprinted the specifics of the Socola School reflected in the modernization of psychiatric care and university, postgraduate, doctoral, specialization and advanced training in psychiatry. The development of the bio-psycho-social medical concept in ethical dimensions has gained new valences valued in the current conceptual substantiation of person-centered psychiatry.

Scientific activity is illustrated over time by a series of 18 congresses organized between 1920-1938 by C.I. Parhon and Leon Ballif, then by Petre Brânzei (Interdisciplinary Relations of Psychiatry, The Future of Psychiatry), T. Pirozynski (Psychiatry Today), C. Romanescu (History of Medicine). After 1989, 3 national psychiatry congresses were organized in Iași, a series of national conferences, continued under the title “Integrative and expert psychiatry”, the 9th International Congress Bridging Eastern and Western Psychiatry, The Bio-Psycho-Social Approach in Psychiatry (2006), European Conference on Alcoholism (2007).

The continuation of the tradition started in 1918 by the publication of the journal "Bulletins et Memoires de la Société de Neurologie, Psychiatrie et Psychologie de Iassy" is illustrated by the publication of the new "Bulletin of Integrative Psychiatry", a magazine listed C.N.C.S and indexed internationally.
