“…These findings and observations warn us that we should not talk too readily about a thought disturbance without speech disturbance in schizophrenia (or 1 White ( 16) also refers to these observations. in any other psychosis) or about a speech disturbance without thought disturbance in aphasia.…”

“…In schizophrenia we do not find word mutilations or verbal paraphasia; instead there is paralogia. 1 Schneider concludes that in the speech of schizophrenics the purely linguistic share is intact, but in the case of the sensory aphasic only the purely linguistic share, not the thought process, is impaired. He believes that there is a disturbance of association in aphasia but none in schizophrenia where the understanding of word-meanings is undisturbed and the patient can associate the speech material.…”

The aphasias and psychoses involve changes or even loss of comprehension which may be more apparent in communication than in free word-association. To investigate such defects, 84 psychotics were asked to interpret 6 tachistoscopically exposed sentences––3 simple statements and 3 abstract epigrams. Four types of comprehension-defect are illustrated but show no relation to diagnosis. Fourteen of the patients showed no defects of comprehension. It is argued that disturbances of association produce these defects of comprehension.

Bleuler, 1912). The prosecution asked him about "Loeb's 'split personality' and tried to get the doctor to say whether he is afflicted with dementia praecox.…”

Schizophrenia as split personality/Jekyll and Hyde: The origins of the informal usage in the English language

The entry into the English language of the informal usage of schizophrenia as split personality/Jekyll and Hyde is traced and commented upon. The metaphor of split personality is followed from Eugene Bleuler via his translators and the wider psychiatric community into the present day. It, and to a lesser extent the Jekyll-Hyde personality, is found to be as much a product of the psychological professions as a product of lay misinterpretation. The informal definition of schizophrenia as split personality has outlived the scientific theory with which it was initially associated.
