Heterogeneity in schizophrenia: an extended replication of the hebephrenic-like and paranoid-like subtypes.
Hebephrenic-like (H) and paranoid-like (P) subtypes of schizophrenia have previously been described by Farmer et al. (1983, 1984). The stability of this subtypology of schizophrenia was explored using multivariate statistical techniques on a large independent data set. Both a discriminant function analysis and an admixture analysis produced strong evidence for a bimodel distribution of scores consistent with the H-like and P-like subtypes.
