[Schizophrenically disordered time perception and its modification by neuroleptics]

Abstract

The authors deal with the question as to whether the target symptom "disturbed time perception" is to be considered a basic schizophrenic symptom and whether therapeutical (neuroleptic) control possibilities exist. 135 schizophreniacs have given statistical evidence (intensity quotient, Wilcoxon comparison, Hotelling-Pabst test, exact probability test according to Fisher/Yates) that the disturbed time perception of schizophreniacs is accessible by a differentiated neuroleptic therapy but is not a basic schizophrenic disturbance.
