Extract

IN a previous paper (Bullock, Clancey and Fleischhacker, 1951) an attempt was made to separate schizophrenic reaction syndromes, due to diagnosable and often successfully treatable disease of known etiology, from idiopathic or cryptogenic schizophrenia. It was shown that the criteria of idiopathic schizophrenia are—

  1. (1) Positivey : (a) Mentally, the classical symptoms of inadequacy and inappropriateness : of thought (paralogia), of affect (parapathema), to which one may add of volition (paraboulema), usually accompanied by hallucinations, paranoid ideas, etc.

    (b) Physically, a slightly pathological C.S.F., due essentially to an increase of the globulin fraction.

  2. (2) Negalively : the absence of generally acknowledged organic disease of the brain, or any physical disease which is known to produce such disorders of the central nervous system or the C.S.F., as mentioned under (i).
