Abstract
One of the major difficulties confronting any attempt to analyze the behavioral phenomena that characterize schizophrenia is the problem of dealing with such a broad range of complex behaviors as though they were similar. We must begin by recognizing that the term schizophrenia refers to a group of disorders with common features but a wide range of behavioral differences rather than to a single disease entity with a well-defined series of symptoms. There is even some justification for questioning whether the numerous and varied manifestations currently labeled schizophrenia in the aggregate should not be considered distinct syndromes.
