• We reanalyzed the Copenhagen schizophrenia high-risk project data set to test recently developed models of antecedents predominantly negative and positive forms schizophrenia. Among a group 138 individuals, those at elevated genetic risk who suffered severe delivery complications were autonomic nonresponders during adolescence significantly more likely than without this pattern evidence outcomes with symptoms (86% vs 0.8%, respectively). 160 subjects, escaped complications, evidenced high...

Since 1962 we have followd a sample of 207 children at high risk for schizophrenia as well 104 control children. For these individuals, the following factors and their interaction are related to an increased schizophrenic breakdown: (1) greater family backgrounds, (2) perinatal trauma, (3) unstable parenting public institutional child care. The difficulties positively adult periventricular atrophy. Results subsequent study tentatively suggest that part neurological deviance in may be...
