چکیده

The authors appreciate the assistance of Mary Ellen Wlvel, M.A., Science Writer, National Institute of Mental Health, In the preparation of this report. The ability to advance our knowledge about schizophrenia has been partially handicapped by our inability to define it precisely and consistently. There is no question that schizophrenia is a "real disorder" that produces severe and often persistent disabilities. For a variety of historical and conceptual reasons, however, there has been disagreement among clinicians and investigators as to the best ways to define this disorder. The principal and absolutely fundamental contribution that phenomenology and nosology can make is to identify some of the controversial issues so that their effect on research is recognized and to make a useful group of suggestions concerning these definitional issues. If we are to make any substantial progress in understanding the pathophysiology and etiology of schizophrenia or in developing improved treatments for it, knowing how to describe, define, and recognize it is a necessity.
