Gertnera Phenomenon

The Gärtner phenomenon is a phenomenon that was described by the Austrian physician Gert Gärtner in 1892. It is associated with changes in skin color in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Gaertner noticed that some tuberculosis patients treated at his clinic had darker skin on their arms and legs. He suggested that this was due to the effects of the drugs they were taking. However, when he began to study this phenomenon more carefully, he discovered that changes in skin color occurred not only in patients, but also in healthy people who were taking medications.

Later it was found that the Gertner phenomenon is associated with changes in the level of hormones in the blood. When hormone levels increase, the skin becomes darker, and when hormone levels decrease, the skin becomes paler.

Today, Gertner's phenomenon has no practical application, but it remains an interesting phenomenon for scientists and doctors.

Gertner created one of the simplest and most effective methods of psychoanalysis, which has become very popular all over the world. Psychoanalysis was invented by Freud, but was not so accessible to ordinary people. Gertner conducted the analysis sessions through writing, which greatly simplified understanding.

Galter was born in Austria-Hungary in 1884. He trained as a psychiatrist and then began studying hypnosis and psychoanalysis. In 1920 he moved to the United States, where he also worked as a psychiatrist.

Gertner emphasized the role of sleep in our lives, and argued that every dream carries meaning for us. The psychologist wrote that in dreams we experience life events that we dreamed about, or we project our emotions and experiences. It is important for us to evaluate our dreams in order to understand our internal state and our psyche.

One of Gertner's most important concepts is “Don't decide, but do.” This refers to the need to find solutions in life without over-analyzing and overthinking. Life is structured in such a way that it is necessary to constantly find new ways and solutions, and not dwell on what has already happened. Then life becomes more interesting and eventful.
