Jung's Study of Schizophrenia
In 1907 Jung published his study of the devastating, baffling, mental illness schizophrenia, or, as it was known at the time, dementia praecox. Based on his work with patients at the Burghlzli Mental Hospital, Jungs book was ground breaking because he treated delusional material as worthy of interpretation rather than as unintelligible raving. In the books foreword, Jung acknowledged his debt to Sigmund Freud, stating that even a superficial glance at my work will show how much I am indebted to the brilliant discoveries of Freud. The copy displayed belonged to and is signed by the pioneering American analyst, Morris J. Karpas (18791918).
