Abstract
The study sought to identify the higher-level psychotic factors measured by the In patient Multidimensional Psychiatric Scale (IMPS). 10 IMPS syndrome scores of 2,303 fuctional psychotics, rated while on a minimum of drugs, were intercorrelated. A principal axis factor analysis and an oblique rotation yielded 5 dimensions labeled Disorganized Hy-peractivity, Schizophrenic Disorganization, Paranoid Process, Anxious Depression, and Hostile Paranoia. The findings are compared with the 3 groupings proposed by Phillips and Rabinovitch and with factors in earlier studies.Keywords
