Produktbeschreibung
When Emil Kraepelin died (15. 02. 1856-07. 10. 1926), he left behind his memoirs, which were not published until today. Co-workers and col leagues from the last years of Kraepelin's life and his family knew that such an autobiography existed, but they were not sure whether these memoirs should be made public, so they remained unpublished. At a commemoration 50 years after Emil Kraepelin's death in Mu nich (1976) the descendants, who attended the festivities, agreed to the editors' suggestion to publish the "Memoirs". Through this publication we have been able to learn more about the life of a man, whose work has had a decisive and lasting effect on the entire psychiatry since the end of the last century. When one reads the memoirs, one has to admit that on ly very little is known about this great psychiatrist's personality and path through life and that this gap has by no means been filled by the publica tion of his memoirs. Perhaps this publication will encourage work on a biography, which will give us more information on Kraepelin's person ality, life and scientific work. The focal-point of Kraepelin's work lies in the classification of psy chiatric clinical syndromes, which was developed from clinical observa tions, was constantly tested empirically and was altered taking new findings and knowledge into account. However, the basis of this system has remained unchanged and valid until today.
Autorenporträt
Der bedeutende deutsche Psychiater Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926) hat ein System für die Klassifizierung von psychischen Störungen eingeführt, das bis heute Gültigkeit hat. Kraepelin studierte ab 1874 Medizin in Leipzig und Würzburg. Nach seiner Promotion 1878 arbeitete er zunächst in München unter Bernhard von Gudden und anschließend in Leipzig unter Paul Flechsig. Unter Wilhelm Wundt befasste er sich mit experimentalpsychologischen Arbeiten. Im Jahre 1886 erhielt Kraepelin eine Professur in Dorpat, anschließend leitete er die Großherzogliche Badische Universitäts-Irrenklinik in Heidelberg (1891-1903), die er nach seinen Vorstellungen modernisierte. Danach folgte er einem Ruf der Universität München. Die von Kraepelin gegründete Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Psychiatrie gilt als Vorläufer des heutigen Max-Planck-Instituts für Psychiatrie in München. Bekannt ist Kraepelin vor allem als Begründer einer empirisch orientierten Psychopathologie.
