[Attempts at classification in psychoses associated with pregnancy]

The paper demonstrates that the nosological classification of psychoses associated with pregnancy, menstruation, etc., under conditions of approximately equivalent description of syndromes, has been treated quite variously, according to the prevalent attitude, in the last hundred years. The concept of puerperal psychosis has been used to denote a psychopathological syndrome connected with pregnancy, birth, and confinement. After a relapse, nosological classification is possible.
