Navigate Through Life
In 1883, German physician Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926), a contemporary of Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), believed that a great number of mental illnesses were strictly biological in origin. He had a lasting influence on the field of psychiatry and now is often regarded as the founder of modern medical psychiatry. In his “Textbook of Psychiatry,” Kraepelin wrote a detailed classification of mental illnesses that became the foundation for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the classification system of the American Psychiatry Association (APA). The first DSM-1, published in 1952, listed 60 categories. The most current (Fifth) edition is the DSM-5 (APA, 2013) and lists approximately 400 mental disorders.
