Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926), a German psychiatrist, had a significant role in the development of contemporary principles in psychiatry and disease classification. The principles, the nomenclature, and the classifications he devised for diseases are still in use today. Kraepelin was instrumental in the training of many neuropsychiatrists not only in Germany but all over the world. Kraepelin holds a distinctive place in Ottoman-Turkish psychiatric history and had a significant impact on the shaping of psychiatry in Turkey. Starting in the late Ottoman period, three generations of physicians who contributed significantly to the institutionalization of psychiatry in Turkey were taught in Kraepelin’s school and had the opportunity to work directly under him. This article investigates Kraepelin’s impact on Ottoman-Turkish psychiatry and the relationship between Kraepelin and psychiatrists of different generations in Turkey.
