Abstract
"20 patients drawn from several well-known organic diagnostic groups were classified on the basis of their symptom similarity." Classification was based on a factor analysis of intercorrelations among the patients, the correlations being based in a set of 55 symptom rating scales. The author concludes that (1) "Patients suffering from the specified organic psychoses are not symptomatically homogeneous." (2) "A quantified multiple psychiatric diagnosis based on symptom cluster scores is more descriptive of the patient than a diagnostic label."
