originally thought I would write a post-kraepelin - but maybe a Kraepelinian dichotomy is better


Post-Kraepelin is a term used to describe those contemporary perspectives of mental health conditions that challenge the traditional views of mental disorders, as a biological illness with a chronic and deteriorating course. These post Kraepelin views are in contrast to the ideas first proposed by Emil Kraepelin in the early twenty century.

Traditional ideas about mental disorders

edit

Kraepelin original conceptualist of mental disorders as distinct categories (e.g. Dementia praecox and manic depression) with their own underlying biological disease process. These views have had a major influence on psychiatry, and form the basis of the operational diagnostic criteria, such as DSM.

The concept first gained popularity in 1990s as the validity of diagnosis [1]
