Endocrinology more than any other medical specialty requires consideration and cooperation of genetics. History of the rapid progress of clinical endocrinology in the last 50 years shows that human genetics has been lagging far behind endocrinology in clinical medicine. The psychologic reason seems to be the mechanistic trend of modern medicine and reluctance to use abstract logical thinking applied to material facts.

Riassunto

Riassunto

L'Endocrinologia richiede, più di qualsiasi altra specializzazione medica, la considerazione e la collaborazione della Genetica. Passando in rassegna i rapidi progressi fatti negli ultimi 50 anni dalla Endocrinologia clinica, si nota che la Genetica umana è rimasta molto indietro rispetto all'Endocrinologia nel campo della Medicina clinica. La ragione psicologica di questo fatto sembra essere costituita dalle tendenze meccanicistiche della medicina moderna e dalla riluttanza ad applicare il pensiero logico astratto a fatti materiali.

Résumé

RÉSUMÉ

L'Endocrinologie a besoin, plus que toute autre spécialisation médicale, de la compréhension et de la collaboration de la Génétique. Une rassigne des grands progrès faits le long de ces derniers 50 ans par l'Endocrinologie clinique montre que la Génétique Humaine est restée très en arrière par rapport à l'Endocrinologie dans le secteur de la médecine clinique.

La raison psychologique de ce fait peut être recherchée dans les tendances mécanistiques de la médecine actuelle et dans sa réluctance à l'application de la pensée logique abstraite à des faits matériaux.

Zusammenfassung

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

Endokrinologie erfordert mehr als andere Spezialfaecher der Medizin Beruecksichtigung und Vereinigung mit Vererbungslehre. Der rapide Fortschritt der klinischen Endokrinologie in den letzten 50 Jahren ging dem der menschlichen Vererbungslehre weit voraus. Der psychologische Grund scheint der mechanistische Zug der modernen Medizin und damit die Zurueckhaltung zu sein, abstraktes logisches Denken zur Erklaerung materieller Tatsachen heranzuziehen.
