Schizophrenia Test
In the end of 19th century, a Germany psychiatrist who named as Emil kraepelin, fusing some mental disorders which are usually seen to reflecting separate disorders. That are: catatonia (motional disorder which involve sensational immobility or agitation), hebephrenic (emotionally which are mentally slow and immature), and paranoia (grandeur delusion or persecution). Kraepelin assumed that these symptoms are based on same features and put in under the same group of condition which is called dementia praecox in Latin language. Because he believed that the disorder involves some form of organic decline, its outcome was considered to be poor. In kraepelin schizophrenia test, also proposed that beginning in childhood which was become the each main point of disorders, will be rapidly change into “mental weakness”. Emil kraepelin also doing some schizophrenia test and then he assumed that several symptoms in dementia praecox including hallucinations, delusions, and etc.
The second important person in history of schizophrenia is eugen bleuler. He is a Swiss psychiatry who introduces schizophrenia and he done schizophrenia test. Schizophrenia which comes from Greece language, split (skhizen) and mind (phren), reflecting bleuler’s schizophrenia test and assumption that underlying abnormal behavior is the existing of associative splitting in personality basic functions. This concept emphasizes about associative breaking or power destruction which is relate one function among others.
If kraepelin’s schizophrenia test focused on childhood’s beginning and negative effect, bleuler’s schizophrenia test emphasizes on something which underlying universal problem. In his view, the symptoms of schizophrenia were the result of disordered thought process affecting as these following: autism (complete-self-focus), associations (unconnected ideas), affect (inappropriate emotions), and ambivalence (uncertainty over actions).
Kraepelin’s result of schizophrenia test argued that the outcome of schizophrenia did not always involve progressive decline, and he believed that dementia praecox represented a group of disorders that have different causes. Bleuler’s schizophrenia test also theorized that environmental factors interacting with a genetic predisposition produced the disorder.
