Extract

The present study examines two psychotic groups from the point of view of personality and symptomatological dimensions. It is conceivable that illnesses as devastating and widespread in their effects as the psychoses may complicate and blur relationships which seemed rather clear-cut among neurotics. The thesis of this study is, however, that Caine's Hysteroid-Obsessoid questionnaire (Martin and Caine, 1963) will continue to behave reliably and to account for much of the variance of other measures among the partially integrated psychotics, such as the paranoid and melancholic subjects to be examined here.
