Psychopathology and differential diagnosis, Vol. 1: History of psychopathology, New York (Columbia University Press) 1988, 270 p.

  • In this comprehensive volume, the first of a two-volume set, the development of ideas linking psychopathology, diagnosis, and personality is traced from the ancient Greeks and Romans through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the contemporary world. The understanding of personality structure throughout this broad historical context, including contributions of early pioneers, Freud, post-Freudians, typologists, ego psychologists, and object relations theorists, is reviewed and embedded in this historical perspective. / Volume I assesses each historical period in terms of its impact on the understanding of psychopathology. In addition, each period is identified in terms of its philosophical underpinnings. Convenient summaries and tables provide the reader with a basic view of the salient contributions of each era regarding the vicissitudes of personality and psychopathology. / A central concern in Volume I is the delineation of the two major competing themes regarding psychopathology which emerge throughout history. These competing themes are pointed out and their shifting emphasis explored from era to era. The first theme views the development of psychopathology in relation to both intrapersonal phenomena and interpersonal dynamics; the Secon theme relates psychopathology to biological and organic factors. The contributions, contrasts, and integration of these perspectives are presented and related to a broad spectrum of contemporary thinking regarding personality, psychopathology, and diagnosis. – Index: Preface Acknowledgments Part I: Antiquity – The historical roots of psychopathology and diagnosis – Hipprocrates: The first classifier – The later Greek philosophers – The Roman period Part II: The Middle Ages and the Renaissance – The Middle Ages – The Renaissance Part III: The modern world – The modern world and the study of psychopathology – The age of enlightenment: The eighteenth century – Nineteenth-century interest in the nature of psychopathology Part IV: Nosological systems and the appearance of Sigmund Freud – The reemergence of the physical approach and early classification schemes – Precursors to Freudian psychology and the dynamic understanding of psychopathology – Sigmund Freud Part V: Typologies and followers of Freud – Typologies – Freud's personality types – Followers of Freud: Horney, FROMM, and Erickson Adler and Sullivan Part VI: Contemporary views: Ego psychology and object relations – Ego psychology – Object relations – Object relations and ego psychology: Comparisons and combinations – Conclusion References and suggested readings.
