    diversified phases of every type of mental disease, and they are pleas- urable reading to one likewise versed in clinical minutiae. Ziehen (1894), a very competent writer, after much considera- tion, concludes, finall}'-, that the nosology of Insanity is best accom- plished by a combination of the psychological and the symptomato- logical principles. He bases his chief division, therefore, on the clinical and psychical fact that some cases present disturbances of the intellectual faculties from the very first, while in other cases the intellect is not thus involved. His classification is as follows: I. Psychoses Without Intellectual Defect. A. Simple Psychoses: A single chief stadium. 1. Affective Psychoses.—Primary chief symptoms in the emotional domain. a. Mania. i. Melancholia. c. Neurasthenia. 2. Intellectual Psychoses.—Primary chief symptoms in the intellectual domain. a. Primary Dementia. d. Paranoia. (a) Paranoia simplex. (h) Paranoia hallucinatoria. (c) Flighty and changeable form. (d) Stuporous form. (e) Incoherent form. c. Insanity with impellent ideas. B. Compound Psychoses, several chief stadia. U. Psychoses With Intellectual Defect. A. Congenital mental weakness. a. Idiocy. I. Imbecility. c. Feeble-mindedness. B. Acquired mental weakness or dementia. a. Dementia paralytica. J). Dementia senilis. c. Dementia secondary to functional psychoses.
