The German psychiatrist and philosopher Theodor Ziehen (1862–1950), little known in psychiatry today, wrote one of the first systematic treatises on child psychiatry in the early years of the twentieth century. This report provides the first English translation of Ziehen's chapters on major mood disorders of children and adolescents, with detailed biographical notes and commentary on his contributions to the foundation of child psychiatry and to characterizing manicdepressive illnesses in this age group.
