emil kraepelin -lrb- / ˈɛ : .
mil ˈkrɛ :p ɛ.lin / ; 15 february 1856 -- 7 october 1926 -rrb- was a german psychiatrist .
h. j. eysenck 's `` encyclopedia of psychology '' identifies him as the founder of modern scientific psychiatry , as well as of psychopharmacology and psychiatric genetics .
kraepelin believed the chief origin of psychiatric disease to be biological and genetic malfunction .
his theories dominated psychiatry at the start of the 20th century and , despite the later psychodynamic influence of sigmund freud and his disciples , enjoyed a revival at century 's end .
