Classic Text No. 135
Serious and realistic research into the inheritance of the psychoses started in earnest at the beginning of the twentieth century. This was encouraged by both the acceptance of the Kraepelinian classification and the rediscovery of the Mendelian model of inheritance. The application of Mendelian rules to the very complex genetics of the psychoses led to agonizing debate. The Classic Text is a translation of the introduction of the doctoral thesis…
Classic Text No. 134
Expansive autopsychosis, grouped with cycloid psychoses – an illness entity of double origin: (1) Morel’s notion degeneracy, reformulated by Magnan and Legrain (reflected in Wimmer’s concept: psychogenic psychosis); (2) Wernicke’s, Kleist’s, Bostroem’s (and later Leonhard’s) notion of these purportedly independent conditions. Locked in the Danish language, Strömgren and Ostenfeld provided important contributions to this field, exemplified by Oste…
‘Acquired idiotism’, by Frederik Lange (1883)
The little-known writing by Frederik Lange translated in this Classic Text belongs to what can be called the prolegomenal history of the construction of the concept of schizophrenia. It describes one effort to capture the convergence of certain words of diverse coinage (dementia praecox, acquired idiocy, hebephrenia, heboidophrenia, etc.) with some newly accepted concepts (e.g. the temporalization of madness and the view that adolescence was an i…
‘My insanity in the year 1783’, by C.S. Andresen (1801)
The literature of the past has included self-reports by the mentally ill since before Roy Porter reminded us that their views and experiences constitute an important document for historians of psyc
‘Some main features in the history of the paranoid illness forms’, by Aa. Thune Jacobsen (1921)
Classic Text No. 126
Since its construction in Classical times, the meaning of ‘paranoia’ has changed at least three times. Important gaps still interrupt its long chronology, and more studies of specific clinical and cultural usages are needed before its total history is put together
‘My insanity in the year 1783’, by C.S. Andresen (1801)
The literature of the past has included self-reports by the mentally ill since before Roy Porter reminded us that their views and experiences constitute an important document for historians of psychiatry. The value of these self-reports can be enhanced if their potential biases and informational power are duly determined. This Classic Text concerns a self-report of a form of periodic madness written by an eighteenth-century Danish vicar. It shows…
‘Struensée’s memoir on the situation of the King’ (1772)
Christian VII of Denmark (1749–1808) was insane throughout his long reign. The royal physician, Johann Friedrich Struensée (1737–72), usurped his power. In 1771 the King appointed him Privy Cabinet Minister. Struensée revolutionized the whole administration of the Danish-Norwegian kingdom and had an adulterous relationship with the Queen, Caroline Mathilda, George III’s sister. In January 1772 he was arrested, sentenced to death for lese-majesty …
Søren Kierkegaard (1813–55)
Researchers in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, medicine and theology have made exhaustive efforts to shed light on the elusive biography/pathography of the great Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813–55). This ‘bicentennial’ article reviews his main pathographical diagnoses of, respectively, possible manic-depressive [bipolar] disease, epilepsy, complex partial seizure disorder, Landry-Guillain-Barré’s acute ascending paralysis, acute …
‘On Periodical Depressions and their Pathogenesis’ by Carl Lange (1886)
Carl Lange was the founding father of neurology in Denmark, authoring several pioneering works within this field; however, these remained largely unknown internationally as he did not have them translated into a major language. He became a pioneer of psychophysiology with his contribution to the so-called James-Lange theory of emotion. His treatise on ‘periodical depressions’ (‘the Lange theory of depressions’, 1886), is not only an early histori…
‘Psychogenic Psychoses’ by August Wimmer (1936)
This is a continuation of Classic Text No. 87, published in History of Psychiatry 22(3): 334–367, and is the second part of the translation from Wimmer’s book Speciel klinisk Psykiatri for Studerende og Læger [Special Clinical Psychiatry for Students and Doctors] published in Copenhagen in 1936
Psychogenic Psychoses' by August Wimmer (1936)
Among others inspired by Magnan's doctrine of délires des dégénérés , bouffées délirantes, etc., in 1916 the Danish psychiatrist August Wimmer (1872-1937) authored the first comprehensive monograph on the psychogenic psychoses. Written in Danish only, this classic work did not become directly accessible to international psychiatry until it appeared in English translation in 2003 (Schioldann, 2003a). In the opinion of Strömgren, these psychosis fo…
