A TRANSPOSED ANALYSIS OF THE BENDER-GESTALTS OF PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENICS.

The article presents information on transposed analysis of the Bender-Gestalts of paranoid schizophrenics. Thirty hospitalized male schizophrenics were the subjects of this investigation. All were recently diagnosed paranoid schizophrenics. Particular care was taken not to include subjects who were in complete remission at the tune of the examination. No data can be given on the number of uncooperative patients that had to be excluded from the study because the patients were selected on the basis of the availability of their Benders in the files. A previous study disclosed four type-factors for paranoid schizophrenics. The current study is a cross-validation of those findings under generalized conditions.
