Extract

Kraepelin's assumption that affective psychoses always have a ‘good‘ outcome was found to be untrue — it could not differentiate affective from schizophrenic disorders. Long-term investigations have shown that a relevant proportion of affective disorders have an ‘unfavourable outcome’ (Angst, 1987; Marneros & Deister, 1990; Marneros et al, 1990b), while some schizophrenic disorders can have a good prognosis (Bleuler, 1972; Ciompi & Müller, 1976; Huber et al, 1979; Möller & von Zerssen, 1986; Marneros et al, 1989a, 1990b, 1991b).
