Karl Ludwig Kahlbaum (1828-1899) spent most of his professional career as director of a private psychiatric sanatorium in Germany. He remains influential for introducing his "clinical method" (based on considering the course of an illness as well as the signs and symptoms) of differential diagnosis of specific psychiatric syndromes and urging abandonment of the more unitary views of psychotic disorders favored by the leading German academic theorists of his time. Kahlbaum's approach to nosology, detailed in an 1863 monograph and other works, strongly influenced Kraepelin's views. However, remarkably few of the important writings of this keen clinical observer are available in English translation. His seminal lecture-essay "On Cyclic Insanity" [Uber cyklisches Irresein] of 1882 is translated into English here for the first time, with comments about its place in the history of the evolution of the concept of bipolar disorder, including its position as a link between Falret's folie circulaire and Kraepelin's manic-depressive insanity.
卡尔·路德维希·卡尔鲍姆（1828 - 1899）职业生涯的大部分时间都在德国一家私立精神病疗养院担任院长。他因引入“临床方法”（基于对疾病病程以及体征和症状的考量）来鉴别特定精神综合征，并力主摒弃当时德国主要学术理论家所青睐的对精神障碍更为单一的观点而颇具影响力。卡尔鲍姆在1863年的一部专著及其他著作中详述的疾病分类学方法，对克雷佩林的观点产生了强烈影响。然而，这位敏锐的临床观察家的重要著作中，仅有极少数有英文译本。他1882年具有开创性的演讲文章《论循环性精神错乱》[Uber cyklisches Irresein] 首次在此翻译成英文，并对其在双相情感障碍概念演变史中的地位进行了评论，包括其作为法勒雷的循环性精神病与克雷佩林的躁狂抑郁症之间联系的地位。
