“…A symptom in the present study, as in earlier studies (Phillips & Rabinovitch, 1958;Zigler & Phillips, 1960), refers to the description of a patient's behavior by a psychiatrist at the time of initial institutional contact, or the description of behavior presented by referring physicians as the primary reason for hospitalization. The symptoms include specific actions, for example, assault; general behavior patterns, for example, irresponsible behavior; thoughts, for example, sexual preoccupations; somatic reactions, for example, headaches; and general affect states, for example, being tense.…”

It was hypothesized that symptoms reflect a patient's social competence or maturity level and that this maturity level is related to the diagnosis he receives. Symptom scales based on empirical relations between symptoms and competence levels were constructed for 3 spheres of functioning: thought, affect, and action. Results obtained with 504 psychiatric patients showed that (a) placement on each symptom scale was significantly related to diagnosis; and (b) patients who could be rated on all 3 scales showed consistent placement across scales. This latter finding was interpreted as indicating that the maturity dimension is a pervasive one, thus lending further support to the view that maturity plays an important role in the process of diagnosis.

“…For instance, the greater guilt, self-derogation, and intropunitiveness up to and including suicide (Henry and Short, 1954;Miller and Swanson, 1960;Zigler and Phillips, 1960) found in individuals of the middle as compared to the lower class are predictable from developmental theorizing. As Phillips and Rabinovitch (1958) pointed out, such "turning against the self" implies an introjection of social standards which is more characteristic of higher than of lower levels of development. Evidence that an increasing capacity to experience guilt accompanies increasing cognitive growth and development was presented by Katz and Zigler (1967).…”

“…Premorbid adjustment was determined by the Abbreviated Phillips Rating Scale of Premorbid Adjustment in Schizophrenia (Harris, 1975). Role orientation was determined by the Phillips Symptom Checklist (Phillips & Rabinovitch, 1958), which divides symptoms into three clusters, Turning Against the Self (TAS), Turning Against Others (TAO) and Avoidance of Others (AO).

Defense mechanisms in reactive and process schizophrenics

Divided schizophrenics into reactive and process groups (20 males and 20 females in each group) on the basis of three criteria: Premorbid adjustment, role orientation, and paranoid‐nonparanoid status. All were administered the Defense Mechanism Inventory, which measures five clusters of defenses. Reactives had significantly higher scores than process patients on Turning against Self and Projection. Process patients had significantly higher scores on Reversal. No significant differences between groups were found on Turning against Object and Principalization, nor were there significant sex differences. The results support the probability of different defensive preferences for the reactive and process syndromes.
