Eugene Bleuler (1857-1939)

Quoted from ‘The Clinical Roots of the Schizophrenia Concept:

Eugene Bleuler was born in a Swiss village near Zurich, of farming stock. He studied medicine in Zurich and after a short period in Paris with Charcot and a brief stay in London to study neuropathology he returned to Zurich where he remained for the rest of his life, becoming director of the internationally renowned Burgholzli Clinic. Bleuler first introduced the term schizophrenia in 1908, in the following article which has never been translated into English before. He suggested that this term was more appropriate than dementia praecox. His monograph on schizophrenia published in 1911 was only translated into English in 1950 and is now out of print. The current extract therefore provides a useful summary of his views on schizophrenia.
