Klaus Conrad Die beginnende Schizophrenie. Versuch einer Gestaltanalyse des Wahns

Klaus Conrad (19 June 1905 in Reichenberg – 5 May 1961 in Göttingen) was a Sudeten German neurologist and psychiatrist who conducted research on German soldiers who were hospitalised with mental health symptoms on the Eastern Front during the Second World War.[1] Aaron Mishara has claimed that his work constituted an important contributions to neuropsychology and psychopathology.

He joined the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in 1940.[2] He had a post war career as a professor of psychiatry and neurology, and director of the University Psychiatric Hospital in Göttingen from 1958 until his death.

Conrad's main work: Die beginnende Schizophrenie: Versuch einer Gestaltanalyse des Wahns (1958), describes the early state of schizophrenia and the typical schizophrenic aspects. From this monograph, terms as "Trema", "Apophänie" (apophany), and "Überstieg" were coined.[3] Frank Fish, who had reviewed Conrad's book in 1960, used Conrad's approach in a neuropsychiatric case report the same year. [4] An English language summary of Conrad's work and its influence was published in 2010 by Mishara.[5]
