title: Clinical study of schizophrenia--application of jacksonism.
abstract: Factors influencing prognosis and relapses in schizophrenia were investigated systematically. The results were agreed with Jacksonism. Data were collected from 166 patients who suffered relapses and were readmitted to hospital from November 15, 1971, to December 31, 1974. The psychiatric symptoms were classified from A to G, positive to negative. The initial symptoms were divided into 4 groups. There was interrelation between the somatic and psychiatric symptoms; in the initial symptoms and prognosis, courses, and psychiatric symptoms. Based on my results, I suggest that an evolutional and hierarchical interpretation, which Jackson emphasized, in the correlation between brain and mind is applicable in the psychopathology of schizophrenia.
