Many sites identify Kraepelin's contribution
as introducing a new categorization in psychiatric
taxonomy and recognizing the distinction between schizophrenia and manic-depressive illness. But infact, in his last chapter on this he seems to place schizophrenia in the larger class of Paranoias (which used to be called dementia praecox - meaning early dementia or dementia at youth).
