让·皮埃尔·法雷（Jean Pierre Falret）在1854年对“循环性精神错乱”（circular insanity）的描述，一度受到人们的赞扬，但现在却被忽视了，直到现在才被翻译成英语。这篇开创性的文章第一次清楚地阐明了我们目前诊断双相情感障碍的基本要素。它清晰地描述了躁狂兴奋和抑郁以及从一种到另一种的”转换”;此外，它强调了过程和预后的重要性，以及遗传和流行病学因素。尽管美国精神病学本能地从德国文献中寻找其在Kraepelin，Bleeland和Freud中的基础，但Falret文章的翻译代表了一种努力，即将当代精神病学概念追溯到19世纪法国的起源。
Jean Pierre Falret's once celebrated but now neglected 1854 description of" circular insanity" has not been translated into English until now. This seminal essay clearly articulated for the first time the rudimentary elements of our present diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder. It contains lucid descriptions of manic excitement and depression and the" switch" from one to the other; moreover, it emphasizes the importance of course and prognosis, as well as hereditary and epidemiologic factors. Although American psychiatry instinctively looks to the German literature for its foundations in Kraepelin, Bleuler, and Freud, the translation of Falret's essay represents an effort to trace contemporary psychiatric concepts to their origins in nineteenth-century France.
