title: [Psychopathometric examinations on patients with schizophrenia and related psychoses (author's transl)].
abstract: Eighty one patients with schizophrenic or similar psychoses were tested three times using different psychopathological scales: at the beginning and at the end of clinical treatment, and 5-6 years after discharge. The psychopathometrical description showed an improvement in productive-psychotic and depressive-apathetic symptoms during clinical treatment and the deterioration at follow-up. For example 67% of the patients suffered from marked paranoid symptoms at admission, only 14% at discharge, but 30% at follow-up. The configuration-frequency-analysis on syndrome-intensities allowed a more differentiated insight into the frequency of improvement and deterioration in particular cases. As to paranoid symptoms for example, 26% of the patients showed deterioration at follow-up. The majority of the depressive states seen on discharge were already in existence on admission. The results of the self-rating and the rating by the psychiatrist was not in complete concordance.
