Great ... an article which begins with a totally misplaced, pedantic history of a psychiatric term people come to Wikipedia to understand. Wbroun ( talk) 15:57, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
i'm having trouble seeing the point of this article ... DP is exactly an archaic term for schizophrenia. why isn't this just better covered in the historical section of schizophrenia or psychosis? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snaxalotl ( talk • contribs) 02:53, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello. I am the "original" author and check the entry every few months to see its development. I just happened to do it this morning, just after the recent (helpful) changes were made. I do not know how to add footnotes, etc., which is why they were not added in the first place. Until I figure out how to do that, I will add things to the body of the entry and rely on the kindness of strangers to give form to my mess. By the way, the Stone and Honig articles are full of errors and misconceptions. The Berrios et al. article is the best thus far. I have a book coming out in the fall which will clarify many of the points made in this entry. 64.121.62.80 ( talk) 19:01, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
Terrific! thanks so much for checking and correcting the Morel references. Dowbiggin is an excellent scholar, and so much of scholarship is trusting one's sources, and I have relied on him. In matters of clinical concepts, the most reliable scholars are Berrios and Edward Shorter, but Berrios is often the final word. If you have a special interest in this topic -- as it seems you do -- I'd be happy to share some chapters from the manuscript. It is being copy-edited at this very moment. Harvard UP is a bit slow in getting the book on their website -- it won't appear until April. But it is indeed coming. I think that after reading this book no one will argue that DP and schizophrenia are/were the same thing. A differential diagnosis between the two could be made. Thanks for tending the DP garden! This entry will need to be changed in many ways after the book appears, I would think. 64.121.62.80 ( talk) 13:29, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
That's excellent! A very interesting and worthwhile dissertation! 64.121.62.80 ( talk) 20:03, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
You know, it might be good to have a private discussion about some of this stuff via email. if you want, you can reach me at my university email address: richard.noll@desales.edu Just let me know.... 147.106.5.106 ( talk) 14:54, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Just received your email and will respond later today. As for this DP article, i will dig up theexact references for the Kraepelin quotes in notes 21 and 22, rather than citing the Noll 2007 book (which now, after further research, also needs some serious updating).
Thank you for the valuable work you're doing on this, Fiachra, and anyone else involved. -- Anthonyhcole ( talk) 06:52, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
I rewrote Dementia praecox#The_quantitative_component but have had very little online time since. I'll do some more when I can. Please rewrite anything you think can be improved. Richard's prose is so smooth and readable, I feel like I'm reworking a Mozart tune. -- Anthonyhcole ( talk) 11:55, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi all,
The final sentence of 2.4, Kraepelin's influence in the next century: Use of the term spreads, is:
"Kraepelin thus finally conquered France via America."
This sentence would be fine in a non-fiction book, but to me at least reads as pointless/non-informative. It's not encyclopaedic and doesn't really mean anything. See wiki 5 pillars please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.214.215.146 ( talk) 13:36, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
