“…It also provides some support for the usefulness of the process-reactive classification within schizophrenia (Kantor, Wallner, & Winder, 1953), as well as for the belief that some degree of organic brain damage may underlie the pathology of process schizophrenia (Brackbill & Fine, 1956;Tutko & Spence, 1962). This suggests the possibility that some degree of brain damage may be common to both the chronic-schizophrenic and the brain-damaged groups.…”

A factor-analytic study of the structure of intellectual functioning as measured by Wechsler tests was carried out on 4 samples of varying pathologies and 4 normal samples of varying ages. Applying objective analytical oblique rotation and statistical measures of factorial similarity, 3 main factors and 1 quasi-specific described most groups. In distinction to previous studies, both pathology and normal aging were found to introduce some degree of factorial variability, with the effect of age seemingly more pronounced. Thus, pathological samples did not differ from age-matched normals, though normals of different ages varied from each other. The results were discussed in terms of the relative importance of the different factors, process-reactive distinction in schizophrenia, and the particular vulnerability of the Memory factor.

“…Some work with this dimension has been done with the Rorschach. Brackbill and Fine (1956) reported differentiation between process and reactive schizophrenia on the basis of I'iotrowski's 10 signs of organic involvement. Fine and Zimct (1959) reported the use of Rorschach responses to determine degree of perceptual regression in process and reactive schizophrenia.…”

The Rorschachs of 15 process and 15 reactive schizophrenics were scored for form level toexamine differences on the cards between these groups. Cards X and IX proved most difficult for both groups to integrate. Process schizophrenics performed less well than did reactives on Card II, and reactives performed less well than did process on Card VII. The first result was interpreted in relation to the saliency ofhuman figures in Card III. The results on Card VII were interpreted as contradicting that the card represented a parental theme. Further discussion centered upon the need for more analysis of Rorschach indices across individual cards.

“…Two investigations of the similarities in the thinking processes of various diagnostic groups to either process or reactive schizophrenics have indicated that brain-damaged (organic) Ss are more similar to process than to reactive schizophrenics (Brackbill & Fine, 1956;Tutko & Spence, 1962). From another point of view, clinical experience as well as empirical evidence (Hunt & Walker, 1962) indicates that, in judgments of comprehension and vocabulary global test protocols, there exists a mutual confusion between schizophrenia and organicity, and between retardation and schizophrenia.…”

Diagnostic judgmental confusion and process-reactive schizophrenia.

On the basis of the similarity of brain-damaged Ss to process schizophrenics and judgmental studies of the amount of confusion in thinking exhibited in Comprehension, Vocabulary, and Similarities (C-V-S) test protocols for such Ss, 3 out of 4 predictions of diagnostic judgmental errors in judging global C-V-S test protocols were confirmed. 45 PhD clinicians, with a minimum of 4 yr. clinical experience, made a diagnostic judgment from the protocols of 10 Ss in each of normal, organic, retardate, process, and reactive schizophrenic categories. Retardates were, but organic Ss were not, judged as process more than reactive schizophrenic. Reactives were called normal more often than organic or retardate. Diagnostic experience and base-rate values were offered as factors contributing to these judgmental errors.
