Abstract
Hare, Price and Slater (1971) plotted the age distribution of first admissions to hospital of patients suffering from schizophrenia and neurosis. (I.C.D. 7th Revision, Nos. 300, 303, 310–318). They found a close correspondence between the curves, and contrasted this with the deviation shown by similar age distribution curves plotted for mania, depression and personality disorder (I.C.D. 7th Revision, Nos. 301.0, 301.1, 301.2, 302, 320 and 321). Hare et al. argued from these curves that the environmental factors precipitating an attack are the same for schizophrenia as for neurosis.
