Abstract

SynopsisIn close agreement with Essen-Möller, a classification of mental disorders is described. The two basic principles are the application of four independent classifying bases—namely, symptomatology, severity, aetiology, and course, and the breakdown of doubtful disease entities and syndromes to elementary cardinal symptoms and of comprehensive personality terms to simple traits.
