Abstract
At the close of the last century there began to spread in the field of psychiatry the idea that every specific pathological agent and every individual toxin produced a picture of psychological disorder that was uniquely characteristic of the causative agent. This idea was extensively developed in the work of Kraepelin (1892) and supplanted the view expressed earlier by Morel, who denied the existence of any specificity in psychological disorders related to their aetiology.Keywords
