title: The distinction between paranoid and non-paranoid forms of schizophrenia.
abstract: The distinction between paranoid and non-paranoid forms of schizophrenia is discussed. The different methods of making the distinctions are examined as well as some of the different variables to which it has been applied. It is suggested that the grounds on which the distinction is made are often questionable and that there is a case for saying that they may not even be tenable.
