title: Differential diagnosis of psychiatric patients with the Minnesota Percepto-Diagnostic Test.
abstract: This study investigated whether normals, personality disorders, psychotics and organics could be differentiated by the Minnesota Percepto-Diagnostic Test. There were significant differences between all the groups except the psychotics and personality disorders. It appears that, in general, perceptual disturbance lies along a pathological continuum. Similar performances of psychotics and personality disorders were discussed.
