This introduction surveys the literature on Kraepelin's legacy and assesses efforts on the part of neo-Kraepelinians to install him as a new, post-Freudian `father' of clinical psychiatry. It argues that in contemporary discourse Kraepelin has become a touchstone of professional loyalties and that he is put to use in the strategic organization and apportionment of disciplinary resources, power and knowledge.
