Karl Jaspers's "General Psychopathology" is a classic work that laid the methodological foundations of modern psychiatry.

In "From the Foundations of Psychopathology to the Formation of Personality," the author distinguishes between the patient's subjective experiences and the objective manifestations of illness, and introduces a key distinction between causal explanations and the semantic understanding of mental phenomena. Analyzing the nature of hallucinations, delusions, obsessions, and disturbances of consciousness, Jaspers proposes the concept of "interpretive psychology"—a tool for understanding the internal connections between a person's experiences and actions. The book draws on rich clinical material and remains valuable as a guide to understanding mental disorders.

This is not a dry list of symptoms, but a guide to thinking—for those who want not just to diagnose, but to truly understand people facing mental suffering.
