THE BASIC SYMPTOMS OF SCHIZOPHRENIA
Abstract
In fourteen schizophrenic patients, mostly young, studied in an out-patient clinic, 23 observations were made of the presence of Bleuler's "basic" symptoms. These observations are presented in detail.
Consideration is given to two questions: (1) In the normal individual how does the associative faculty develop? Confronted with a child of a given age who shows evidence of an association disturbance, can we say whether this disturbance is normal or abnormal for that age-level? (2) Can we differentiate the faulty associations of schizophrenia from those seen in mental retardation?
