Kraepelin’s basic attitude to the classification of psychoses was data-oriented and flexible. In his latter years he was close to revising his own celebrated dichotomy between manic-depressive insanity and dementia praecox in order to take account of a large group of intermediate psychoses, which today are called schizo-affective. His concept of a continuum from healthy to ill has stood the test of time and corresponds to modern epidemiological findings. Kraepelin’s unitarian concept of manic…

Do the Trajectories of Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia Follow a Universal Staging Model?

  • Psychology, Medicine
    Canadian journal of psychiatry. Revue canadienne de psychiatrie
  • 2017
TLDR
Advances in the prediction of risk, accurate early illness detection, and tailored intervention will require mapping biomarkers and other risk indicators to reliable clinical phases of illness progression, and robust evidence supporting identifiable stages per se is still lacking.
Helmut Rennert’s Universal Genesis of Endogenous Psychoses: The Historical Concept and Its Significance for Today’s Discussion on Unitary Psychosis
TLDR
The classification of mental disorders without a previous establishment on the basis of fundamental theoretical assumptions could certainly foster a dynamic development in the future and can be of particular use when critically questioning explanatory approaches that are prone to simplification.
An epidemiologic and clinical overview of medical and psychopathological comorbidities in major psychoses
TLDR

The theory of symptom complexes, mind and madness
  • M. Daker
  • Psychology

  • 2019
TLDR
A particular feature of symptom complexes is their relationship to aspects of the normal mind and how this affects clinical manifestations, and it is suggested that symptom complexes might offer a useful bridge between the psychic and the biological in theories of the mind.
Course and outcome of bipolar disorder.
TLDR
This chapter examines those studies that have attempted to draw coherence from this enigmatic disorder, focusing on data derived from prospective longitudinal investigations, while using as necessary the more limited retrospective or cross-sectional reports.
Assessing psychopathology from a structural perspective: A psychodynamic model.
TLDR
A psychodynamic model is used to organize personality disorders along a structural continuum of severity and seven key indices of personality functioning are evaluated: cognition, affect, self-object relations, interpersonal relations, defenses, superego functioning, and primary dynamics.
The Mutability of Schizophrenia: From Hafners Epidemiology to Hafners Psychopathology
TLDR
The psychopathological mutability of schizophrenia and schizophreniform psychosis is examined through the lens of the epidemiological investigations of Heinz Hafner in Mannheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, over the half-century between 1965, and the present day, which suggests that variations in the incidence of schizophrenia can be accounted for partly by social pressures, and partly by liberal diagnosticcum- epidemiological, professional practice.
Lifetime hypomanic symptoms in remitted patients with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.
TLDR
There is no simple, clear-cut between schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder, and there is no significant difference between patients in terms of general functioning among psychotic patients.
Title Are bipolar disorder and schizophrenia neuroanatomicallydistinct ? An anatomical likelihood meta-analysis
TLDR
Neuroimaging studies of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder typically provide considerable data on the brain endophenotype of psychosis, however the extent to which bipolar disorder is considered separately from schizophrenia and other psychoses varies.

The data point to the existence of a more manic (M/Md) group of bipolar subjects, which predicts a better course, lower suicidality and fewer and different treatment needs than does nuclear bipolar I (MD) disorder.
