title: Self-reported empathic abilities in schizophrenia: a longitudinal perspective.
abstract: To study the effect of illness course on the subjective experience of empathy, we investigated the Interpersonal Reactivity Index in schizophrenia and controls over 3 years. We found stable IRI data in both groups and a stable positive correlation of the subscale 'Personal distress' with the PANSS negative scale.
