In 'Strindberg y Van Gogh', Karl Jaspers undertakes a masterful study of the interrelationships between madness and artistic creation. Based on four brilliant authors, he reviews the life, writings, thoughts, and vital and affective reactions of Strindberg and Van Gogh, seeking and analyzing symptoms that allow a good understanding of the mental state, illness, and creative impulses of these artists. Similar analyses of Hölderlin and Swedenborg are also considered. This 1986 edition, published by Nuevo Arte Thor in paperback, offers a comparative pathographic analysis that can be considered masterful.
Karl Theodor Jaspers was a German-Swiss psychiatrist and philosopher who had a strong influence on modern theology, psychiatry, and philosophy. His 1913 work General Psychopathology influenced many later diagnostic criteria, and argued for a distinction between "primary" and "secondary" delusions.
