Motor Behaviour of Chronic Schizophrenics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
Wing and Freudenberg (1961) assessed the response of schizophrenic subjects to regimes of active and passive encouragement. Their findings suggest that a subgroup of very inactive patients exists and that this group responds dramatically to incentives. The purpose of this study is to re-examine the behaviour and attempt to define this subgroup. Such an examination may provide information which could be applied to treatment programmes. It may also contribute to a better understanding of the nature of the schizophrenic's volitional defect.
