The little-known writing by Frederik Lange translated in this Classic Text belongs to what can be called the prolegomenal history of the construction of the concept of schizophrenia. It describes one effort to capture the convergence of certain of diverse coinage (dementia praecox, acquired idiocy, hebephrenia, heboidophrenia, etc.) with some newly accepted (e.g. the temporalization of madness and the view that adolescence was an independent period of life), and with some old (which for centuries had been called madness, the portmanteau soon to be rebaptized as psychosis). This convergence culminated in the work of Kraepelin, who was to call it 'dementia praecox'. Lange's transitional efforts and pangs can be sensed as he struggles to describe a new form of madness that affects young people.
这段鲜为人知的弗雷德里克·朗格的著作，在这个经典文本中被翻译为简体中文，属于可以被称为精神分裂症概念构建的前序历史。它描述了一种努力，将某些不同术语（早发性痴呆、获得性痴呆、青春痴呆、类青春痴呆等）的收敛与一些新接受的概念（例如疯狂的时间化和青春期是独立生命阶段的观点），以及一些旧概念（几个世纪以来一直被称为疯狂，即将被重新命名为精神病的混合词）相结合。这一收敛最终在克拉佩林的著作中达到顶峰，他称之为“早发性痴呆”。朗格在努力描述一种影响年轻人的新形式的疯狂时，他的过渡性努力和痛苦可以被感觉到。
