Product Description

Review

"Karl Jaspers was only thirty when he amassed the data and expounded the methods and interpretations that give his Psychopathologie a place at the side of James' monumental Principles of Psychology. Like James, he later turned to philosophy. He certainly shared James' radically empirical spirit; he documented more systematically the challenge to the methodological imperialism to which psychopathology was subject in his day." -- Peter A. Bertocci, Review of Metaphysics



"As long as psychiatric diagnosis and treatment rest on psychopathological investigation, the continuing improvement and sharpening of this tool of investigation must remain a prime concern to psychiatrists. This book is a guide to that technique; still irreplaceable, much of it is still as fresh as the day it was written and still a lively stimulus to others yet to come." -- E. W. Anderson, foreword to the 1963 English translation of General Psychopathology



Book Description

In his most important contribution to the Heidelberg school, a founder of existentialism critiques the scientific aspirations of psychotherapy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book for mental health professionals, 23 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This is a classic work on the observation of psychopathology without the theoretical overlay of other works. This author also founded phenomenology, a type of existential philosophy. This book is a must for mental health diagnosticians but might be a bit dense for the general public.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great if you are a psychiatrist or psychologist, 2 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This is a classic work by the father of a philosophical school called phenomenology. His student Schneider is responsible for forming the psychiatric criteria for Schizophrenia in use today (1998) by DSM-4. Jaspers was a prodigy when he wrote this at age 33. His philosophical works have been the subject of great controversy because of the concept of empathy.
