Abstract
One hundred male schizophrenic patients were given a battery which presumably measured "fantasy tendencies, level of aspiration, planning ability, delaying capacity, motor inhibition and motility, and responsiveness in ward behavior." This battery was to test the hypothesis that fantasy tendencies are a link to control of motility and compulsive behavior. 35 references.Keywords
