"The history of the conception of paranoia is very closely connected with the whole development of our clincial views of psychiatry. The term, paranoia, which was used first by Kahlbaum in 1863 in a special sense, then by von Krafft-Ebing and Mendel, took the place of the older name Verrücktheit, which was given to a form of insanity essentially affecting intellectual activity. According to the older teaching of Griesinger, which in the main point assumed a single kind of psychic malady running a regular course in various stages, Verrücktheit was always the issue of a previous disorder of the emotional life."--Manic Depressive Insanity and Paranoia (1921) by Emil Kraepelin |
