"General Psychopathology: From Personality Development to Crowd Psychology" by Karl Jaspers is a profound study of mental disorders that goes beyond a simple classification of symptoms.
The author examines how heredity and environment, physical and social factors, influence the human psyche. He critically evaluates traditional approaches to psychology and introduces his own concepts—eidology and biographical studies. Jaspers demonstrates the difference between psychologically understandable processes (such as personality development) and illnesses with unclear developmental mechanisms (schizophrenia, epilepsy). He also touches on the social aspects of psychosis and how the understanding of madness has changed over time.

This is not simply a summary of knowledge about heredity or a classification of symptoms, but a profound methodological study of how we can understand personality in its biological, historical, and existential holism.
