Carl Wernicke derived his theory of the pathomechanism of mental illness of his theories on aphasia. For this reason Jaspers accused him of mythologizing the brain. On the other hand, however, Jaspers does admit that Wernicke has produced one of the most important works on psychology and says that a serious study of this work is something that no researcher can do without. Now, through the influence of modern biological psychiatry, the psychiatry of Wernicke and his school is once more gaining in significance.
卡尔·韦尼克从他关于失语症的理论中推导出了他的精神疾病病理机制理论。因此，雅斯贝尔斯指责他将大脑神话化。然而，另一方面，雅斯贝尔斯确实承认韦尼克写出了最重要的心理学著作之一，并表示任何研究者都不可或缺对这部著作进行认真研究。如今，受现代生物精神病学的影响，韦尼克及其学派的精神病学再度变得重要起来。
