First published in 1998. This is Volume I, of seven in the

Among the more frequently quoted epidemiological facts in current
public health discussions are: (a) the elderly today represent
about 10% of the population of the industrialized world; (b) the
third world nations are moving in the same direction; (c) the trend
toward a growing proportion of the aged in the world population
will continue over the next few decades; (d) people over 80 now
represent the fa. stest growing sector in North America; (e) in the
elderly, general morbidity - and particularly morbidity of the
central nervous syste- is many times that in the younger
popUlation; (f) 5% of those over 65 years of age and 20% of those
over 80 suffer from some degree of dementia. A global tidal wave of
patients suf fering from Alzheimer's disease (or senile dementia)
is threat ening to engulf us by the year 2000. This disease, which
is, at our present state of knowledge, ir reversible, and other
age-related dementias are perhaps the most sinister forms of any
disability. They deprive their vic tims not only of their physical
capacities but also of their autonomy and their ability to think
and to make decisions for themselves. The future cost of
psychogeriatric diseases in terms of suffering for individuals,
stress for families, demand for manpower, and budgetary
requirements for governments could become astronomical."
In 1910, Karl Jaspers wrote a seminal essay on morbid jealousy
in which he laid the foundation for the psychopathological
phenomenology that through his work and the work of Hans Gruhle and
Kurt Schneider, among others, would become the hallmark of the
Heidelberg school of psychiatry. In "General Psychopathology," his
most important contribution to the Heidelberg school, Jaspers
critiques the scientific aspirations of psychotherapy, arguing that
in the realm of the human, the explanation of behavior through the
observation of regularity and patterns in it ( "Erklarende
Psychologie") must be supplemented by an understanding of the
"meaning-relations" experienced by human beings ( "Verstehende
Psychologie").
