In this article a brief overview of the treatment of chronic psychosis for the last two centuries is covered, with particular emphasis on many scientifically demonstrated causes of chronic organic psychosis and their medically successful treatment, including recent neurotransmitter manipulations. With respect for the important contributions of Bleuler, the term "schizophrenic" is considered as an unscientific and unprovable nosological construct, which has hampered the successful resolution of chronic psychosis and has outlived its usefulness in the lexicon of modern psychiatry.
本文概述了过去两个世纪慢性精神病的治疗情况，特别强调了许多经科学证实的慢性器质性精神病病因及其医学上成功的治疗方法，包括近期对神经递质的调控。鉴于布鲁勒的重要贡献，“精神分裂症”一词被认为是一种不科学且无法证实的疾病分类概念，它阻碍了慢性精神病的成功治愈，在现代精神病学词汇中已不再适用。
