“…Silverman's (1964a) alternative criteria (early term < 3 years length of hospitalization, long term > 6 years length of hospitalization) were based on his analysis of studies which suggested that these criteria identified patient subgroups which were quite different on perceptual and cognitive measures. These groups also differed in other important ways (e.g., phenothiazine treatment status, premormid adjustment, and paranoid status) and the theoretical propositions associated with these chronicity criteria have subsequently had a mixed validity history (Kopfstein & Neale, 1971;Neale & Cromwell, 1970;Neale, Davis, & Cromwell, 1971). The meaningfulness of these criteria are thus also uncertain.…”

Scores of studies have been reported which demonstrate behavioral differences betveen acute and chronic schizophrenics. These data have most often been interpreted as reflecting changes in psychological functioning due to (a) processes intrinsic to the schizophrenic disorder and/or (6) the effects of institutionalization. Examination of the construct of chronicity and of the design of these studies suggests (i) the existence of perceptual and cognitive changes during the course of schizophrenia has not been demonstrated; (ii) the ob-;d acute-chronic differences may primarily reflect sampling biases. chiatric category 1964a).ThesutBehavioral va lability within the broad psyof schizophrenia is well documented (Shakaw, 1962(Shakaw, , 1963; Silverman, classification of schizophrenic subjects in terms of three individual differences constructs often markedly reduces this variability, and significant differences among these schizophrenia subtypes are frequently observed (Broen, 1968; Silverman, 1964a). These dimensions are (a) adequacy of premorbid adjustment, (6) clinical subtype, specifically paranoid or not, and (c) chronicity. These dimensions have been used to classify subjects in scores of studies, sometimes in combination but most often singly (cf. Schooler & Feldman, 1967). These studies have demonstrated the empirical and conceptual value of the premorbid adjustment (or process-reactive) and paranoid symptomatol-1 Preparation of this paper was supported in part by Grant No. MH21822-01 from the National Institute of Mental Health.

Most paranoid patients have traditionally been diagnosed as schizophrenic, although considerable evidence points to the dissimilarities between paranoid and nonparanoid schizophrenic patients and to commonalities between paranoid and affective disorder groups. Based on a review of research, it is suggested that paranoid schizophrenia, at least in some of its varieties, may more fruitfully be conceptualized as a phenotypic expression of an underlying depressive mode than as a schizophrenic form. This formulation is presented within the framework of a broad examination of diagnostic issues.

Size Estimation in Schizophrenia: Some Additional Controls

Abstract: Size estimation was studied in 14 hospital aides and the following four groups of 14 male schizophrenics: acute good premorbid paranoid, acute poor premorbid nonparanoid, chronic good premorbid paranoid, and chronic poor rem morbid nonparanoid. Unlike previous studies: (1) Ss were
