Extract

This paper is concerned with the occurrence in three cases of a major psychosis of more or less circumscribed and apparently psychogenic episodes similar to those described by Ganser (1897), and which form a characteristic syndrome, since called after him. Two of the cases here described were endogenous depressions, the third was a schizophrenia. All three showed depersonalization.
