The notion of "dementia praecox" was introduced by Kraeplin to create a new mental illness like dementia paralytica of Bayle. Afterwards this new illness was called schizophrenia by Bleuler. From more half a century. I have studied this illness, specially the "Catatonia" theses researches pointed that catatonia is not an incurable disease but is a toxic reaction especially to colibacillar toxin and others toxins. I could reproduce the catatonia in animals with several toxics (in the beginning with de Jong from Amsterdam with bulbocapnine and afterwards with other toxins). To conclude, psychiatry must remain a part of general medicine with the arm of complete cura and with human feelings.

It is necessary to make a revision of the conception of Kraepelin about schizophrenia and autonomic mental disease. The aim of Kraepelin was to discover an autonomic mental disease like the general paralysis: that was the dementia praecox. It is now impossible to prove this conception. The schizophrenia of Bleuler is characterized by psychic dissociation. Before Bleuler, Moreau de Tours described psychic dissociation not as a mental disease but as a reaction to toxic causes. The new researches about catatonia pointed the exactitude of Moreau de Tours's conception. Behind the apparent dissociation persist a personality that is still living and which it is possible to help and to treat with etiologic treatments and with moral comprehension.

The excessive determination is in relation with the recent theory of the brain. The brain is only from the discovery of Babinski an executive organ, but there is the personality with the moral problems. The excessive importance of the prognostic from Kraepelin and Bleuler is a danger that have seen by Baillarger, one of the founder of Medico-psychologique society. It is important to emphasize the action of moral factors from the revelation of hebraïc Bible until Pinel, Esquirol and the other foundators of french psychiatry until Clerambault, Marchand and Guiraud.
