Extract

This paper reports an investigation in which it was found that, by dividing “paranoids” on a scale of “non-integrated psychosis”, two groups were formed which differed significantly from each other on several independent measures. When the same division was made within non-paranoid schizophrenics and within melancholics, very few such differences were disclosed.

The evidence suggests that integrated and non-integrated “paranoids” can usefully be regarded as differentiable groups, the latter being more closely related to other forms of schizophrenia.
