“…In contrast, the authors' finding that schizophrenia tended to show the highest rate in the lowest class is consistent with results of studies of treated cases (Mishler & Scotch, 1963, p. 236). This consistent inverse relationship suggests that schizophrenia is involved in the Gillis et al b , 1965Brugger, 1937Akimoto et al«, 1942D.

Community studies which have attempted to count untreated as well as treated cases of psychological disorder were analyzed for rates of psychosis, neurosis, and personality disorder according to age, sex, and social class. Psychosis as a whole is not consistently related to any of these variables, but schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychosis may be related to social class in different ways. Rates of neurosis are consistently higher for females than for males. Rates of personality disorder are higher for males and highest in the lowest social class. These results are examined for the light they throw on the etiology of the 3 types of disorder.

“…Such differences are likely to affect the reliability of estimates of the upper limits of the range of morbidity indices, but would have less effect on the lower limits. The basic comparability of different European notions of schizophrenia is amply illustrated by several diagnostic studies of British, French, German, Swiss, and Soviet concepts (Baumann et al 1976;Seabra-Dines 1977;Busch et al 1980) which indicate good agreement on "typical" or "core" cases of schizophrenia, in contrast to cases exhibiting borderline features, which give rise to marked diagnostic discrepancies (Shepherd et al 1968).…”

Since its inception, the concept of dementia praecox and, later, of schizophrenia has been one of the most disputed entities in modern medicine. Schizophrenia was, and still is, defined by its clinical symptoms and their characteristic evolution over time. No external validating criteria for the diagnosis have been established, in spite of a host of suggestive biological findings, among which the genetic data carry most weight. This absence of clear-cut substrate markers and indicators underscores the importance of the epidemiological perspective in the study of the disorder. The European contributions to the epidemiological description and understanding of schizophrenic morbidity are numerous. They range from community surveys and studies of pedigrees to case-control designs for assessment of risk factors and long-term followup investigations of course and outcome. This review focuses on epidemiological approaches to schizophrenia that have attempted to highlight the essential attributes of a disease: its incidence and prevalence, ecology, and associated features. It is difficult to generalize about European epidemiological research in schizophrenia, because of the coexistence of a variety of "schools," traditions, and approaches. It is nevertheless possible to discern several clear trends in European epidemiological investigations of schizophrenia that can, to some extent, be contrasted to North American developments.
