title: The clinical and therapeutical aspects of schizo-affective psychosis.
abstract: According to our three series of examinations, we have found a way of differentiating between nuclear schizophrenics and manic-depressives in schizo-affective disorders. Only a very small amount of all people diagnosed as schizophrenics (about 3%) have to be put under the category of schizo-affective disorders (Legierungspsychose) sensu strictiori. But in this well-defined group, there is a relation between the symptomatology of the acute stage and the long-term course of the disorder. There is also a better indication for long-term therapy in schizo-affective disorders, because the differentiation in psychopathology also means a better-differentiated therapy with better long-term results.
