Extract

Previous studies suggest that chronic schizophrenics differ from normal subjects in their reactions and responses to experimental “sensory deprivation” conditions, not only in that they tolerate these with no difficulty or upset for weeks at a time, but also in that they display what may be an alleviation, albeit temporary, of the degree of severity of some signs of their disorder (Smith and Lewty, 1959; Smith, Thakurdas and Lawes, 1961).
