Excerpt from A Study of Heredity of Insanity in the Light of the Mendelian Theory
Thus in clinical psychiatry progress has been marked by a simplification Of classification through a far-reaching extension of the conception of clinical equivalents.
Some Of the data furnished by our material seem to indicate the necessity for a still further extension of this conception. It is interesting to note that what we learn in institutional experience to recognize as insanity is a comparatively uncommon group of manifestations Of the neuropathic constitution, for Of our total of 437 neuropathic subjects (not counting the 21 who died in convulsions in early childhood) only 115, or per cent, pre sented at any time in their lives indications for commitment to sanitariums or hospitals for the insane; moreover, it is Obvious, where the facts are known in detail, that in most cases in which such indications have occurred they were in the shape Of special reactions to special environmental conditions and it seems equally Obvious that our definition Of the various types of neuropathic constitution must be in terms not Of such special reactions, but rather of the more stable and more general underlying psychical traits and tendencies.
