Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The subtypes of schizophrenia (paranoid, disorganized, catatonic, undifferentiated, residual) described in the textbook are based on Emil Kraepelin's system of classification, which was the dominant approach in the early 20th century. Kraepelin believed that schizophrenia was a single disorder with various subtypes, and his system was later refined by others, including Eugen Bleuler. Sigmund Freud and Ewald Hecker were influential in the development of psychoanalytic theory but did not directly contribute to the classification of schizophrenia subtypes.
