abstract="The historical social situation and medical treatment of facially injured individuals is briefly summarized. Facially injured individuals were ostracized from society as a result of legal punishment, fear of contamination; or, because one believed that their injuries reflected a character-deficiency or even possession by evil spirits. In 1975, the term &quot;defaced&quot; (Entstellter) was replaced by the value-neutral description &quot;facially injured&quot; (Gesichtsversehrter).<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
