Abstract
Eugen Bleuler, considered as one of the most influential psychiatrists of his time, coined the terms schizophrenia, autism, and ambivalence. Together with Freud and Kraepelin, he gave modern psychiatry a scientific basis. While his colleagues were primarily concerned with organic brain research, he tried to understand psychological symptoms and is therefore considered a pioneer of modern psychoanalysis.
