Wachsmuth, an outstanding physician and clinician, in this work pointed out that not all lesions of the brain produce psychoses and not all psychoses are caused by organic brain diseases. He insisted on the need for a proper clinical psychology. / Wachsmuth studied at the University of Gottingen, devoting himself to the study of medicine. "Unfortunately, during his studies, the first beginning of the [lung] disease that was to bring him an early death became apparent: he had repeated small pulmonary hemorrhages (hemoptysis); only great caution and regularity of his lifestyle allowed him to recover."
