ABSTRACT

  1. Following upon experiences with normal volunteers in a specially constructed silent room, we tried the effect of such isolation on six chronic or nuclear type schizophrenics.
  2. Very few positive results were achieved and it is likely that such perceptual isolation has little or no effect on the withdrawal pattern so characteristic of schizophrenics under stress or anxiety.
