Abstract

A brother and sister reared apart from birth developed schizophrenic symptoms at 17, were hospitalized at 22, and diagnosed as schizophrenic reaction, paranoid type. Their developmental and psychiatric histories and physical and psychological examinations are presented. Marked similarities in development, personality, and intelligence were found. The relation of these findings to etiological theories of schizophrenia is discussed.
