Emmanuel Régis lived from 1855 to 1918 and was a French neuropsychiatrist and professor at the Faculty of Medicine in Bordeaux. He was the first holder of the clinical chair of mental diseases there, a post that marked the growing place of psychiatry in French university teaching. He was counted among the French pioneers of forensic psychiatry and of military psychiatry, two fields that apply the study of mental illness to courts and to armies. His textbook, the Précis de Psychiatrie, or Manual of Psychiatry, was published internationally, which carried his teaching well beyond Bordeaux and made him a widely read voice in the psychiatry of his period.
