[Structure of the residual syndrome. A controlled 5-year follow-up of schizophrenics].
The spectrum of residual dimension extends from psychopathological symptoms to anthropological characteristics. A controlled, personal 5-year follow-up analysis of schizo-affective (cycloid, as Leonhard has it) and hebephrenic patients was made to scan these two extremes. A clinical defect was found, but in the hebephrenic group. The cycloid patients differ from normal controls only in respect of the insufficiency syndrome and of the anthropological characteristics. As shown by the residual syndrome of the cycloid patients - in contradiction to the present knowledge - a complete restoration to health would not occur in this group. The anthropological characteristic closed limitedness is virtually the amplification of the clinical defect of hebephrenics. However, the closing-up limitedness of cycloids is quasi another side of their insufficiency syndrome. The nosospecificity of the structure of residual syndrome in both groups requires further investigations.
