title: [Formation of fundamental psychopathological proportions in autistic and syntonic schizophrenias].
abstract: This paper recapitulates the research conducted in recent years, including the results of the first stage of research presented in 1988. The research is characterized by meticulous preparation of 8 scales which enables us to observe the formation of 4 fundamental proportions. Of vital importance for the interpretation of the results are correlations among the proportions and among scales. Explicit correlation (r = 0.69) between the syntonic-autistic proportion and that of "vitality and emotional adequacy--emotional dementia" was recorded. This observation is of great significance in isolating paranoid schizophrenia subgroups. Emotional dementia is also significant (r = 0.64) in cases characterized by profound autism. Thus, syntony is not only a quality which strongly correlates negatively with autism (r = 0.79) but above all there exists a high positive correlation between syntony and emotional vitality (r = 0.58). Not included here is a discussion on complex relationships between syntonic-autistic proportion and the one of "insight vs lack of insight". The obtained results confirm the correctness of earlier hypothesis and correlate with the results of the research on the formation of syntonic-autistic proportion. In other words, they verify a hypothesis which makes us isolate autistic and syntonic schizophrenias within paranoid schizophrenia.
