Abstract
The occurrence of 52 different symptoms in a group of 100 diagnosed schizophrenic patients was investigated. A factor analysis of these symptoms showed 6 factors: Excitement-hostility; psychomotor retardation and withdrawal; guilt-conflict; persecuted-suspicious; personality-disorganization; confused-withdrawal. How these concepts can be applied systematically was discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
