Bleuler's 1911 monograph on schizophrenia is an attempt to redefine Kraepelin's dementia praecox making use of contemporaneous somatogenic and psychogenic theories of illness, and is best appreciated in its proper historical context. Currently there is confusion about Bleuler's concept of schizophrenia, arising in part from inherent textual difficulties and compounded by inaccurate representations of his account. This conceptual confusion may be reflected in diagnostic uncertainty today, and in the renewed interest in nosology and diagnostic rigor that characterizes much of the literature on schizophrenia at the present time.
布鲁勒1911年关于精神分裂症的专著试图利用当时的躯体病因学说和心理病因学说重新界定克雷佩林的早发性痴呆，最好是在其恰当的历史背景下来理解。目前人们对布鲁勒的精神分裂症概念存在困惑，部分原因是文本本身存在难点，再加上对他的论述的不准确表述。这种概念上的困惑如今可能反映在诊断的不确定性上，也反映在目前大量关于精神分裂症的文献中对疾病分类学和诊断严谨性重新产生的兴趣上。
