title: Can all schizophrenic speech be discriminated from normal speech?
abstract: The study addressed whether the speech of non-speech disordered as well as speech disordered schizophrenics is discriminable from normal speech. An analysis, using a clinician's acumen to detect, not as is usually the case to specify, showed that schizophrenic speech (including that of non-speech disordered schizophrenics) can be accurately discriminated. This suggests that the speech of all schizophrenics does indeed differ from that of normals, but in as yet unspecified ways.
