Abstract: Even in a Schneider-oriented university clinic, the majority of thediagnoses “schizophrenia” are based on non-first-rank symptoms. About one-fifth of the cases diagnosed as having schizophrenia showed nonproductive symptoms such as disturbances of thought, of affect and of behavior. But the nonproductive forms showed a relatively high density of symptoms. Two-thirds of the patients are women, one-third men. Schizophrenia is most frequently diagnosed in the third decade of life. Single people with a low education are more commonly represented. But all this is not valid any longer if we separate schizoaffective psychoses and other atypical psychoses from “pure” schizophrenia.
