摘要

The editors’ introduction analyzes Zeller’s monograph on three temporal levels: First, as a rediscovered original contribution to historical scholarship on nineteenth-century psychiatric classification; second, as an historical document in its own right, situated on the threshold between the murderous atrocities of the Holocaust and the psychiatric reforms of the 1970s and 1980s; and third, as a unique contribution to post-Neo-Kraepelinian discourse in biological psychiatry and to the critiques of contemporary psychiatric nosologies and research agendas.
