- Abstract
The article presents information about schizophrenic ideation as striving toward the solution of conflict. If, as seems probable, schizophrenia may best be understood as a functional breakdown of the adaptive process related to intolerable inner conflict, then a careful study of the ideas presented by acute schizophrenics might be expected to shed some light on the nature of those conflicts, and on the means by which the patient deals with them. This article presents a factorial study of the ideation of a series of 78 male psychotic patients of non-organic type, most of them schizophrenic, who were received at Elgin State Hospital during the summer of 1949.
