Emil Kraepelin is recognized as the pioneer of modern scientific psychiatry, psychopharmacology, and psychiatric genetics. He highlighted the significance of biological and genetic elements in understanding psychiatric disorders, greatly influencing psychiatric concepts during the early 20th century. Despite the emergence of Freudian psychodynamics in later years, Kraepelin’s methodology saw a revival in the 20th century.
