metadata.value: This article completes a series of works on the reception of Scandinavian and Dutch
  cultural heritage in the works of the outstanding German psychiatrist and psychologist
  Karl Leonhard (1904–1988). His assessments already deserve attention because the
  portraits of remarkable artists, writers, and thinkers presented in his works, thanks to
  the research and undoubted literary talent of their author, on the one hand, go beyond
  the usual pathographies in terms of depth of analysis and mastery of presentation. On the other hand, the portraits serve as artifacts of an era in the history of medicine,
  when on the foundation of a cultural dialogue between Russia and Germany a unique
  dialogue of the German and Russian psychiatric thought developed — something that
  the historical vicissitudes of the twentieth century could not prevent. The authors of
  the article make an attempt to bring together the approaches available to the history
  of culture to study the perception of the personality and work of Emanuel Swedenborg
  (1688–1772) as reflected in Leonhard’s last book. Leonhard’s assessments not only capture
  a certain period in the reception history of the Swedish thinker and naturalist in
  German culture — they are a monument to the peculiar naturalistic culture of German
  nosological psychiatry, inscribed in the history of medical thought. Clinical experience
  leads the German psychiatrist to conclude that Swedenborg’s diagnosis of schizophrenia
  in its traditional Kraepelinian sense, which the Russian school of psychiatry is inclined
  to follow, is wrong, but the German psychiatrist himself comes to the conclusion
  that Swedenborg has an amalgam type of psychosis — phonemic confabulation paraphrenia.
  Following Leonhard, the authors of the article examine Swedenborg’s works,
  the testimonies of his contemporaries about him and his family as well as reproduce the
  picture of symptoms of mental illness taking into account the latest historical, cultural
  and medical-psychological works about the Swedish mystic. In their critical analysis,
  the authors emphasize the relevance of the classification of Leonhard’s endogenous
  psychoses, drawing the reader’s attention to the evidence about Swedenborg’s emotional-
  volitional and cognitive sphere within the historical and cultural context of 18th
  century Sweden. In conclusion, the authors announce the publication of the full text of
  Leonhard’s essay translated into Russian with historical, cultural and medical-psychological
  commentary.
