Psychosomatic studies of psychiatric disorders: schizophrenia.
This paper uses some of the data on central nervous dysfunction in schizophrenic patients as a paradigm for the integration of biologic data with psychopathologic conditions. As such, a good portion of the paper emphasizes the methodologic and interpretive problems one must consider in "psychosomatic" studies of mental illness. A possible theory to integrate these findings is presented.
