Excerpt from The Alienist and Neurologist, 1886, Vol. 7: A Quarterly Journal of Scientific, Clinical and Forensic Psychiatry and Neurology; Intended Especially to Subserve the Wants of the General Practitioner of Medicine Two psychological processes, according to Wundt, should be considered as characteristic signs of conscious ness; the formation of representative images by psychical synthesis of the sensations, which range themselves accord ing to certain general groups, and the going and coming of the representative images reproduced.

Exclude profound and intense disintegration of the nervous cortical elements and slowness of central transmission, in all those states which krafft-ebing has designated by the name of very acute psychopathic states (drunkenness, delirium from poisoning, acute delirium, the grand mal of epileptics); whilst, on the contrary, they persist in vari able degrees of clearness in simple lypemania and in that accompanied by stupor.
