Kraepelinian dichotomy
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/29/Emil_Kraepelin2.gif)
The Kraepelinian dichotomy is the division of the major endogenous psychoses into the disease concepts of dementia praecox, which was reformulated as schizophrenia by Eugen Bleuler by 1908,[1][2] and manic-depressive psychosis, which has now been reconceived as bipolar disorder.[3] This division was formally introduced in the sixth edition of Emil Kraepelin's psychiatric textbook Psychiatrie. Ein Lehrbuch für Studirende und Aerzte, published in 1899.[3] It has been highly influential on modern psychiatric classification systems, the DSM and ICD, and is reflected in the taxonomic separation of schizophrenia from affective psychosis.[4] However, there is also a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder to cover cases that seem to show symptoms of both.
History
[edit]The Kraepelinian system and the modern classification of psychoses are ultimately derived from the insights of Karl Kahlbaum.[5] In 1863 the Prussian psychiatrist published his habilitation which was entitled, Die Gruppierung der psychischen Krankheiten (The Classification of Psychiatric Diseases).[6] In this text he reviewed the then heterogeneous state of medical taxonomies of mental illness and enumerated the existence of some thirty such nosologies from the early seventeenth-century until the mid-nineteenth-century.[7] The major contribution of his published dissertation, which is still the foundation of modern psychiatric nosology,[7] was to first formulate the clinical method for the classification of psychosis by symptom, course and outcome.[8]
Kahlbaum also differentiated between two major groups of mental illnesses which he termed vecordia and vesania.[7]
Emil Kraepelin first introduced his proposed dichotomy between the endogenous psychoses of manic-depressive illness and dementia praecox during a public lecture in Heidelberg, Germany on 27 November 1898.[9]
