'John W. Thompson: Psychiatrist in Shadow of the Holocaust' is the biography of a doctor whose revulsion at Nazi human experiments prompted him to seek a humane basis for physician-patient relations. As a military scientific intelligence officer in 1945, Thompson was the first to name "medical war crimes" as a special category for prosecution. His investigations laid the groundwork for the Nuremberg medical trials and for the novel idea of 'informed consent.' Yet, Thompson has remained a little-known figure, despite his many scientific, literary, and religious connections. This book traces Thompson's life from his birth in Mexico, through his studies at Stanford, Edinburgh, and Harvard, and his service in the Canadian Air Force. It reconstructs his therapeutic work with Unesco in Germany and his time as a Civil Rights activist in New York, where he developed his concept of holistic medicine. Thompson was close to authors like Auden and Spender and inspirational religious figures like Jean Vanier, founder of L'Arche. He drew on ideas of Freud, Jung, and Buber. The philosophical and religious dimensions of Thompson's response to Holocaust victims' suffering are key to this study, which cites accounts of psychiatrists, students and patients who knew Thompson personally, war crimes prosecution records, and unpublished personal papers. Paul Weindling is Wellcome Trust Research Professor at the Centre for Health, Medicine and Society: Past and Present, Oxford Brookes University, UK.

Dix-neuf mois après la Seconde Guerre mondiale est mise en place le 9 décembre 1946 une juridiction internationale à Nuremberg : le Medical Case ou Procès des médecins accusés d'avoir participé au génocide. Au-delà d'une prise de conscience de la nature des actes commis sur les déportés et des dérives induites par une conception dénaturée de la science, les quatre juges du tribunal militaire américain estiment indispensable d'élaborer un code de droit international permettant de qualifier les bonnes pratiques de la recherche menée sur l'homme. Le Code de Nuremberg, adopté en août 1947, repris par la suite dans la Déclaration d'Helsinki, constitue l'acte fondateur de l'éthique médicale moderne. Bruno Halioua a consulté et analysé les archives du procès. Il en retrace le déroulement, les temps forts, les enjeux, et en tire une réflexion approfondie portant sur la bioéthique.
