	Emil Kraepelin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emil Kraepelin (February 15, 1856–October 7, 1926) was a German psychiatrist who attempted to create a synthesis of the hundreds of mental disorders classified by the 19th century, grouping diseases together based on classification of common patterns of symptoms, rather than by simple similarity of major symptoms in the manner of his predecessors.
		Kraepelin believed that schizophrenia had a deteriorating course in which mental function continuously (although perhaps erratically) declines, while manic-depressive patients experienced a course of illness which was intermittent, where patients were relatively symptom-free during the intervals which separate acute episodes.
		Kraepelin postulated that psychiatric diseases are principally caused by biological and genetic disorders.

	Dementia praecox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1891 Emil Kraepelin left his position at the university in Dorpat (now Tartu, Estonia) to become a professor and director of the psychiatric clinic at the University in Heidelberg, Germany.
		In it, Kraepelin stated that he was confident of the value of his clinical method of using qualitative and quantitative data collected over a long period of observation of patients as a way of developing a diagnosis that included prognosis (course and outcome):
		In this edition dememtia praecox became one of the "endogenous dementias." It is in the 1913 third volume (second part) of this edition that Kraepelin adjusts his concept of prognosis to admit that a partial remission of symptoms occurred in approximately 26 percent of his patient.

	Kraepelin, Emil (1856-1926) Encyclopedia of Psychology - Find Articles
		Emil Kraepelin was a pioneer in the development of psychiatry as a scientific discipline.
		Kraepelin, the son of a civil servant, was born in 1856 in Neustrelitz, in the Mecklenburg district of Germany.
		Kraepelin proposed that by studying case histories and identifying specific disorders, the progression of mental illness could be predicted, after taking into account individual differences in personality and patient age at the onset of disease.

	Emil Kraepelin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Emil Kraepelin was a German psychiatrist who introduced the first systematic classification of psychiatric disorders to be widely accepted; in doing so, he clearly identified the illness that later became known as schizophrenia.
		Today, experts still cite Kraepelin for his strong emphasis on the physical causes of mental illness, described partly by his distinction between "endogenous" and "exogenous" disorders (the former being an illness with biological origins from organic brain damage, metabolic dysfunctions, or hereditary factors).
		Kraepelin further divided schizophrenia into at least three clinical subgroups of the disorder: 1) catatonia - where behavior activities are disrupted, usually inhibited or coming to a standstill; 2) hebephrenia - characterized by inappropriate emotional reactions and behavior; and 3) paranoia - characterized by delusions of grandeur or of persecution.

	Emil Wilhelm Magnus Georg Kraepelin (www.whonamedit.com)
		Kraepelin divided mental illnesses into exogenous disorders, which he felt were caused by external conditions and were treatable, and endogenous disorders, which had such biological causes as organic brain damage, metabolic dysfunctions, or hereditary factors, and were thus regarded as incurable.
		Kraepelin also distinguished at least three clinical varieties of dementia praecox: catatonia, in which motor activities are disrupted either excessively active or inhibited; hebephrenia, characterized by inappropriate emotional reactions and behaviour; and paranoia, characterized by delusions of grandeur and persecution.
		Kraepelin was a fierce campaigner against smoking and alcohol and investigated the psychiatric effects of alcohol.

		Kraepelin authored nine editions of a textbook which classified mental diseases according to their cause, symptomatology, course, final stage, and pathological anatomical findings, producing a system of classification which has relevance even today.
		He established the clinical pictures of dementia praecox (now known as schizophrenia) in 1893, and of manic-depressive psychosis (now known as bipolar disorder) in 1899, after analyzing thousands of case histories.
		Kraepelin was concerned only with diagnostic classification, and did not accept the theory of unconscious mental activity postulated by psychoanalysts.

	Kraepelin and the Neo-Kraepelinians
		Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926) is perhaps the most important figure in the history of psychiatric classification.
		Kraepelin postulated that diseases were caused by biological and genetic disorders, and he was confident that each would be discovered in time.
		Although Kraepelin’s ideas were largely ignored during his lifetime due to the popularity of Freud, his legacy may be seen in the most recent revisions of the DSM.

		He vigorously opposed the approach of Freud who regarded and treated psychiatric disorders as caused by mysterious psychological forces.
		Though Kraepelin's contribution was largely ignored through most of the twentieth century due to an uncritical adoption of the Freudian etiological theories, Kraepelin's basic concepts now dominate psychiatric research and academic psychiatry, and today the published literature in the field of psychiatry is overwhelmingly biological and genetic in its orientation.

		Emil Kraepelin seized upon the biological, degenerative nature of the disorder, and chose the name dementia praecox to emphasize the deteriorating course.
		Kraepelin also put forward a tentative pathophysiological localization, suggesting that abnormalities in the frontal lobe would be found to be associated with problems in reasoning while temporal lobe abnormalities would be associated with delusions and hallucinations.
		Bleuler and Kraepelin were alike and quite modern in believing that dementia praecox/schizophrenia was composed of a heterogeneous group of disorders, and that at least some of these disorders likely had a genetic component.

		Kraepelin appears to have made the additional error of confusing the process of increasing reliabilty (i.e excluding cases which don't fit his definition, of the construct) with the process of discovering 'natural groupings'.
		Kraepelin concludes that "the causes of dementia praecox are at the present time still wrapped in impenetrable darkness" (p.224).
		Kraepelin succeeded in obtaining from the Rockefeller Foundation the sum of $250,000 for his project, the first gift to be made by this organization to research work in Europe.
