Obshaya psixopatologiya
General psychopathology
Book Description
Karl Jaspers (1883-1969) became famous primarily as a philosopher, one of the founders of existentialism, whose influence was noted by Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Hannah Arendt. However, Jaspers was not only a philosopher, but also a psychiatrist, and the "General Psychopathology" that grew out of his doctoral dissertation was the result of several years of work in a psychiatric hospital. Jaspers was deeply dissatisfied with the approaches to the study and treatment of mental illness that existed in his time, he believed that this branch of medicine was in deep crisis, and set himself the ambitious task of developing new scientific foundations for psychiatry. In fact, he created the philosophy of psychiatry, developed a new language and categorical apparatus for describing and classifying mental disorders.
