History
 |
Springer Publishing Company was founded in 1950 by Bernhard Springer, the Berlin-born great-grandson of Julius Springer, who founded Springer-Verlag (to this day an entirely independent company).
Dr. Springer's first landmark publications included Livestock Health Encyclopedia by Dr. R. Seiden and the 1952 Handbook of Cardiology for Nurses. The new company's books soon branched into other fields, including medicine and psychology. Nursing publications grew rapidly in number, as Dr. Modell's Drugs in Current Use, a small annual paperback, sold over 150,000 copies over several editions. Dr. Solomon Garb's Laboratory Tests for Nurses, first published in 1954, sold nearly 240,000 copies over six editions in 25 years.
In its second decade, Springer Publishing Company expanded into new publishing areas to reflect the rapidly expanding health care industry. Gerontology was a growing topic of interest, and in the 1960s Bernhard Springer published six titles on aging. Meanwhile, publications in psychiatry and psychology continued to grow.
After Springer's death in 1970, his wife Ursula assumed responsibility for the company. Under Dr. Ursula Springer, Springer Publishing Company continued to expand, adding titles in social work, counseling, rehabilitation, and public health, in addition to publishing journals, and annual reviews.
In 2004, Ursula Springer sold Springer Publishing Company to Mannheim Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of the Mannheim Trust. In 2015, Demos Medical Publishing merged into Springer.[4]
