title: [Connection between reduced mental abilities and endogenous psychosis (examination of 1000 hospitalized patients)].
abstract: Since I have dealt with hospitalised patients I could on principle hardly make any contribution to the question whether there is a connection between reduced endowments and endogenic psychosis. It is, however, very remarkable that half of the patients showed bad school performances, that 3.3 per cent had difficulties in learning, 40.4 per cent stayed down at school and 6.1 per cent attended a special school. In view of the fact that the patients with cyloid and unipolar phasic psychoses also showed bad performances at school, one cannot derive a connection between endowments and schizophrenia. Probably the peculiar findings are due to the fact that psychic patients who at the same time show reduced endowments are much more frequently hospitalised than others. Also with regard to the vocational development, the patients with cycloid psychoses do not show any better results than those with schizophrenia. Because of the large number of patients, it was not possible to ascertain afterwards with sufficient accuracy to what extent vocational failures are due to reduced endowments and to what extent they are due to a beginning psychosis.
