Abstract
The pyschoses are considered to be the major mental illnesses and include features such as incoherent speech, bizarre and idiosyncratic beliefs and purposeless or unpredictable or violent behaviour with apparent absence of concern for one’s own safety and comfort (Roth and Kroll, 1986). The psychotic illnesses include organic psychoses, drug psychoses, the major affective (mood) disorders, schizophrenia and paranoid states.
