Abstract
Twenty male former patients who in childhood were diagnosed as having schizoid personality were followed up in adulthood. In comparison with controls, they used psychological ways of construing infrequently. Interpretations of this finding are discussed, in particular its relationship to impaired empathy.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
