but has for many years impeded the appreciation and acceptance of
an "organic basis" of mental disease. The major obstacle was the
emergence of psychoanalysis as a self-contained intellectual system
instead of as a companion of the "organic approach." Once the basic
ideas had been accepted, psychoanalysis appeared to offer the
psychiatrist and medical scientist an integrated interpretation of
normal and abnormal functioning of the brain. It should be
mentioned that thc "organic approach" does not hold out hope for an
early understanding of organically anchored psychodynamics.
Neurochemistry, in relation to function, will become increasingly
productive after the functional correlatives of cerebral metabolism
have been found in behavioral phenomena. This study is in its
infancy and the underlying ideas are at present no more than
working hypotheses, but they represent a new approach to problems
of the function of the central nervous system in health and
disease. During the last few years support for this approach has
gained ground. Before that, the probable hereditary basis of
schizophrenia appeared to many psychiatrists as the only indication
of an organic basis of mental disease, although it did not
seriously shake their belief in the environmental origin of the
major psychoses.
