Long-Term Outcome of Affective, Schizoaffective, and Schizophrenic Disorders: A Comparison

  • Conference paper
Affective and Schizoaffective Disorders

Abstract

In the past decade most empirical studies investigating schizoaffective psychoses have confirmed that regarding outcome these psychoses occupy an intermediate position between schizophrenic and affective disorders (Angst 1980a,b, 1986; Brockington et al. 1980a,b; Harrow and Grossman 1984; Pope et al. 1980; Rzewuska and Angst 1982). In the Cologne study (using narrow definitions based on the longitudinal approach and employing standardized instruments of evaluation) we found that the long-term outcome of schizoaffective disorders is much more favorable than that of schizophrenia (Marneros et al. 1986c, 1989a,b).
