    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 2000 Apr; 27(3):119-26. PubMed ID: 10812635.
    Abstract:
    For about 10 years, namely from 1882 until 1892/93 Emil Kraepelin worked as a reviewer for the "Literarische Centralblatt für Deutschland", probably the most influential review journal of that time in Germany. In these short essays their author had to state his opinion on many different topics such as anthropology, (experimental) psychology, various aspects of the history of psychiatry as well as its different schools like the so-called "psychiatry of brain" in the most succint way. Also they reveal personal feelings and opinions Kraepelin had about some of his contemporaries. Last but not least they can also demonstrate in which way his attitude towards a particular subject changed over the years. Additionally employing original letters written to the editor of the "Literarische Centralblatt" as well as other primary sources a quite clear picture of the young Kraepelin as man and scientist can be drawn. That is the objective of this paper as well as bringing those nowadays almost forgotten works, which cannot be found in any of the profound bibliographies on Kraepelin, back to the attention of the psychiatrical public.
