“…Although the guides were similar, use of one or other variant exposed -and reproducedthe tension within dynamic psychiatry between diagnostic accuracy and classifi catory validity.

Through examination of the career of the psychiatrist August Hoch (1868—1919), this essay challenges two assumptions implicit in histories of US progressive-era psychiatry: that the emergence of Freudian psychoanalysis signalled a devaluation of Kraepelin's contributions and that theoretical and therapeutic eclecticism inhibited psychiatric research. Locating Hoch's guiding principles within the context of Kraepelin's clinical psychiatry, I analyse how Hoch mediated the demands of classification and the dynamic understanding of persons in prosecuting a new kind of clinical research that would not have been possible within either the Kraepelinian or Freudian perspective alone.
