The book 'Titans of psychiatry of the XX century' is dedicated to four great scientists of the XX century, who made the most significant contribution to the formation of modern scientific psychiatry as we know it today - Emil Kraepelin, Eugen Bleuler, Sigmund Freud and Karl Jaspers.So much diverse literature has been written about each of these remarkable scientists that it would seem impossible to say anything new about them. But the authors of the book succeeded: they tried to give it a human dimension, to show each character not only as a scientist, but also as an ordinary person: his feelings and emotions, advantages and disadvantages, strengths and weaknesses of character, bad habits, religious, moral, political and philosophical beliefs, and often mistakes and misconceptions.The authors of the book tried to put the development of ideas expressed by these scientists in a historical context, to show the influence of the ideas of their predecessors, teachers and mentors, on themselves, on their scientific Outlook. The authors of the book also confirm with historical examples the validity of the existence of psychiatry as a separate scientific discipline and its inextricable connection with neurology, neurobiology, somatic medicine and psychology.An important advantage of this book is that the authors give it a lot of little-known and rarely mentioned facts.
