Extract

The paranoid—non-paranoid distinction among schizophrenics may be useful and meaningful (14): certain psychological and physiological responses have been shown to distinguish patients of these subgroups (5, 12, 16) and biochemical (2, 5) and morphological (7, 9, 17) differences have also been demonstrated.
