A Journey through the Classics of Paranoia and Nosologic Considerations that Derive from It: Paranoia and Schizophrenia (I)

Abstract

This review of the classics of paranoia pinpoints the authors who, by their research, have contributed towards clarifying the opacity of paranoid psychoses. Among these are German and French psychiatrists, including the illustrious Dr. Sarró, the genial S. Freud and his present-day reviver, Dr. J. Lacan. The study concerns the creators and forgers of what i nowadays a small group of psychoses but which, in its day, was the most serious form of madness.
