Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1895 there was not a single case of dementia praecox reported in the United States. By 1912 there were tens of thousands of people with this diagnosis locked up in asylums, hospitals, and jails. By 1927 it was fading away . How could such a terrible disease be discovered, affect so many lives, and then turn out to be something else? In vivid detail, Richard Noll describes how the discovery of this mysterious disorder gave hope to the overworked asylum doctors that they could at last explain—though they could not cure—the miserable patients surrounding them. The story of dementia praecox, and its eventual replacement by the new concept of schizophrenia, also reveals how asylum physicians fought for their own respectability. If what they were observing was a disease, then this biological reality was amenable to scientific research. In the early twentieth century, dementia praecox was psychiatry’s key into an increasingly science-focused medical profession. But for the moment, nothing could be done to help the sufferers. When the concept of schizophrenia offered a fresh understanding of this disorder, and hope for a cure, psychiatry abandoned the old disease for the new. In this dramatic story of a vanished diagnosis, Noll shows the co-dependency between a disease and the scientific status of the profession that treats it. The ghost of dementia praecox haunts today’s debates about the latest generation of psychiatric disorders.

Download or read book On the Psychology of the Dementia Praecox written by Carl Jung and published by Livraria Press. This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Psychology of the Dementia Praecox (über die Psychologie der Demerrtia praecox) is an early work by Jung during his clinical days. This work focused on what was then called "dementia praecox," a term coined by Emil Kraepelin that later evolved into what we now know as schizophrenia. This edition is a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. In this foundational study, Jung analyzes what we now call schizophrenia, focusing on the inner experiences of patients suffering from what was then termed dementia praecox. He offers an early psychological framework for understanding how these individuals experience a breakdown in reality, characterized by cognitive fragmentation and detachment from the external world. This work played a key role in shaping later psychiatric approaches to schizophrenia by emphasizing the importance of subjective psychological experiences over mere symptom observation. Jung’s insights helped move the field of psychiatry beyond external behavior analysis, encouraging a deeper exploration of the internal, subjective worlds of patients with psychosis. His pioneering approach also laid the groundwork for future studies on the collective unconscious, a key element in his later theoretical work. Jung’s study of dementia praecox marks a significant shift from the purely biological or somatic approaches to mental illness that were dominant in psychiatry at the time. Rather than focusing solely on the observable symptoms of the disorder, such as hallucinations or delusions, Jung sought to understand the underlying psychological processes contributing to the disintegration of the patient's personality. He suggested that these symptoms were manifestations of deeper conflicts within the psyche, rooted in the unconscious. One of Jung’s key contributions in this work was his emphasis on subjective, internal experiences, as opposed to only outward symptoms. He examined the patient's psychological landscape, emphasizing that schizophrenia involved a profound disturbance in how individuals related to both their inner worlds and external reality. Jung hypothesized that these patients’ hallucinations and delusions were attempts by the unconscious mind to compensate for the breakdown of normal psychological functioning. In this sense, Jung's interpretation laid the groundwork for understanding psychosis as a form of psychic conflict rather than merely a biological or neurological disorder.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authoritative edition of some of Jung’s most important writings on psychiatry The Psychogenesis of Mental Disease presents some of Jung’s most important writings on psychiatry, including “On the Psychology of Dementia Praecox," his landmark early study of what is today called schizophrenia. Also featured here are nine other key papers in psychiatry, the earliest being “The Content of the Psychoses,” written in 1908, when Jung was a leading member of the early psychoanalytic movement. The latest are two papers written in 1956 and 1958, which embody Jung’s conclusions after many years of experience in the psychotherapy of schizophrenia. These writings reflect the original techniques with which Jung is especially associated.

Download or read book The Psychogenesis of Mental Disease written by Carl Gustav Jung and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Psychotic contents, especially in paranoid cases, show close analogies with the type of dream that the primitive aptly calls a 'big dream'. Unlike ordinary dreams, such a dream is highly impressive, numinous, and its imagery frequently makes use of motifs analagous to or even identical with those of mythology. I call these structures archetypesbecause they function in a way similar to instinctual patterns of behaviour.' The importance of this volume of Jung's writings on psychosis can scarcely be overrated both in historical terms and for the understanding of Jung's psychology. It begins with his famous work, 'The Psychology of Dementia Praecox'. It was this work that established his reputation as a psychiatric investigator of the first rank and it was this work also that engaged Freud's interest and led to their eventual famous meeting. The research in this work contains the seed of his theoretica divergence form psychoanalysis. Following on from this are a further nine papers on psychopathology and schizophrenia revealing Jung's original thinking in this area and providing valuable insight into the development of his later concepts such as the archetypes and the collective unconscious.

Book excerpt: A philosophical account of the structure of experience and how it depends on interpersonal relations, developed through a study of auditory verbal hallucinations and thought insertion. In Real Hallucinations, Matthew Ratcliffe offers a philosophical examination of the structure of human experience, its vulnerability to disruption, and how it is shaped by relations with other people. He focuses on the seemingly simple question of how we manage to distinguish among our experiences of perceiving, remembering, imagining, and thinking. To answer this question, he first develops a detailed analysis of auditory verbal hallucinations (usually defined as hearing a voice in the absence of a speaker) and thought insertion (somehow experiencing one's own thoughts as someone else's). He shows how thought insertion and many of those experiences labeled as “hallucinations” consist of disturbances in a person's sense of being in one type of intentional state rather than another. Ratcliffe goes on to argue that such experiences occur against a backdrop of less pronounced but wider-ranging alterations in the structure of intentionality. In so doing, he considers forms of experience associated with trauma, schizophrenia, and profound grief. The overall position arrived at is that experience has an essentially temporal structure, involving patterns of anticipation and fulfillment that are specific to types of intentional states and serve to distinguish them phenomenologically. Disturbances of this structure can lead to various kinds of anomalous experience. Importantly, anticipation-fulfillment patterns are sustained, regulated, and disrupted by interpersonal experience and interaction. It follows that the integrity of human experience, including the most basic sense of self, is inseparable from how we relate to other people and to the social world as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful account of how cultural anxieties about race shaped American notions of mental illness The civil rights era is largely remembered as a time of sit-ins, boycotts, and riots. But a very different civil rights history evolved at the Ionia State Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Ionia, Michigan. In The Protest Psychosis, psychiatrist and cultural critic Jonathan Metzl tells the shocking story of how schizophrenia became the diagnostic term overwhelmingly applied to African American protesters at Ionia—for political reasons as well as clinical ones. Expertly sifting through a vast array of cultural documents, Metzl shows how associations between schizophrenia and blackness emerged during the tumultuous decades of the 1960s and 1970s—and he provides a cautionary tale of how anxieties about race continue to impact doctor-patient interactions in our seemingly postracial America.
