Eugen Bleuler's treatise on schizophrenia provides an important
glimpse into the history of mental illness, how psychiatric science
came to understand, categorize and diagnose various types of
psychosis. As the science and study of mental illness was
formalized in the late 19th century, an understanding of the
various types and subtypes of disorders emerged. Much headway was
made into the identification of certain types of schizophrenia, the
behaviors characterizing each of these, and the methods of arriving
at an accurate diagnosis. It is thus that this paper, published by
Bleuler in the early 20th century, represents a summation of the
progress, and an evolution in how psychosis is termed. Prior to the
publication of Bleuler's papers, the word schizophrenia - adapted
from the Greek words `shattered' and `mind' - had no place in
psychology. Rather, the term `Dementia praecox' was used as a
generalized description for psychosis.
