History
Springer Publishing Company[2] was
founded in 1950 by Bernhard Springer, the
Berlin-born great-grandson of Julius
Springer, who founded Springer-Verlag
(now Springer Science+Business Media).
Springer Publishing's first landmark
publications included Livestock Health
Encyclopedia by R. Seiden and the 1952
Handbook of Cardiology for Nurses. The
company's books soon branched into
other fields, including medicine and
psychology. Nursing publications grew
rapidly in number, as Modell's Drugs in
Current Use, a small annual paperback,
sold over 150,000 copies over several
editions. 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, the firm
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 Bernhard Springer's death in 1970,[2]


his wife Ursula assumed responsibility for
the company, and the firm continued to
expand, adding titles in social work,
counseling, rehabilitation, and public
health, in addition to publishing journals,
and annual reviews.[6] In 2004, Ursula
Springer sold Springer Publishing
Company to Mannheim Holdings, LLC, a
subsidiary of the Mannheim Trust. In 2008
they established a division to focus on
nursing, and "signs to look for" when
abuse is suspected.[3] In 2015, Demos
Medical Publishing merged into Springer
Publishing.[7]
