Medzi prvé kultúrne opatrenia mladého československého štátu patrilo zriadenie československej štátnej univerzity v Bratislave (1919), ktorá krátko po svojom založení bola pomenovaná Univerzita Komenského. Lekárska fakulta vznikla ako prvá z jej fakúlt, svoju činnosť začala 21. septembra 1919. Pri jej vzniku a budovaní sa v prvých desaťročiach výraznou mierou podieľali českí lekári, pretože na Slovensku chýbalo personálne zázemie na vytvorenie takejto inštitúcie. V Bratislave síce vznikla krátko pred prvou svetovou vojnou uhorská štátna univerzita s lekárskou fakultou, tá však bola po vzniku Československej republiky presťahovaná do Maďarska. Odchod maďarských profesorov ďalej prehĺbil všeobecný nedostatok odborníkov, ktorý sa prejavoval aj v medicíne, vrátane psychiatrie. Významnými osobnosťami, ktoré sa zaslúžili o založenie a vybudovanie Psychiatrickej kliniky na Lekárskej fakulte UK, boli českí profesori Zdeněk Mysliveček, ktorú kliniku viedol od jej vzniku do roku 1930, jeho nástupca Miroslav Křivý, a od roku 1937 Stanislav Krákora.

One of the first cultural measures of the young Czechoslovak state was establishment the Czechoslovak State University in Bratislava, which was shortly after its foundation (in 1919) was named Comenius University. The Faculty of Medicine was established as the first of its faculties and started its activities on 21 September 2019. During its establishment and development in the first decades, Czech doctors contributed significantly, because in Slovakia there was a lack of staff to create such an institution. Although the Hungarian State University with its medical faculty was established in Bratislava shortly before the First World War, it was moved to Hungary after the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic. The departure of Hungarian professors further aggravated the general lack of experts, which was also reflected in medicine, including psychiatry. Czech professors Zdeněk Mysliveček led the Psychiatric department from its inception to 1930, its successor Miroslav Křivý, and from 1937 Stanislav Krákora. In the interwar period, the above-mentioned Czech professors contributed to building a system of teaching psychiatry in medical studies, establishing the foundations of Slovak Psychiatry as a department and educated their Slovak followers who worked in the management of the department after their departure, as well as followers for other psychiatric workplaces in Slovakia. The study is focused on the contribution of the mentioned Czech professors in terms of teaching and professional development of psychiatry in Slovakia.
