A longitudinal study of schizophrenic thinking.

Seventy-four patients, including 22 schizophrenics, were administered the object-sorting test at the acute stage, and then again 11 months later during the posthospital stage in order to determine whether two types of thought disorders are a permanent characteristic of schizophrenic thinking or only a function of the acute phase of the disorder.
