Extract

A previous study of the incidence of subjective ideas of sexual change in male schizophrenics has briefly noted the lack of precise quantified data in the literature and the standard English language teaching texts (Gittleson and Levine, 1966). There are no controlled studies of these ideas in female schizophrenics. The studies of Klaf and Davis (1960), Planansky and Johnston (1962) and Lukianowicz (1963) refer only to males.
