Adolf Meyer originally devised the life chart in order to chronologically document a person's major life events and significant illness experiences over his or her life span. It is the purpose of this report to update Meyer's life chart through the presentation of the life events and illnesses of the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh's life illustrates significant early (predisposing) life stresses, as well as clusterings of stressful (precipitating) life events occurring proximal to the occurrence of his several illnesses. Through the use of a life chart an understanding of why an individual becomes ill at a particular time in their life is enlarged. In addition, a systematic basis for formulating prognosis becomes available.
阿道夫·迈耶最初设计生命图表是为了按时间顺序记录一个人一生中的重大生活事件和重大疾病经历。本报告的目的是通过展示著名艺术家文森特·梵高的生活事件和疾病来更新迈耶的生命图表。梵高的一生展现了早期重大的（诱发）生活压力，以及在他几次疾病发生前不久出现的一系列有压力的（促发）生活事件。通过使用生命图表，我们对一个人在生命中特定时间生病的原因的理解得以拓展。此外，还能为制定预后提供一个系统的依据。
